Help Mark launch his Kids' Astronomy World Enterprise!

Donation protected
Science & Astronomy Career Mentorship for Neurodiverse & Under-Served Kids Worldwide:

Many GoFundMe campaigns focus on changing one life. This one focuses on lighting up thousands.



Mark has a heart full of stars and a passion for sharing the wonders of astronomy. After decades in unfulfilling jobs, he's ready to dedicate his life to something truly meaningful – and he has started this journey by providing unparalelled high-quality, free astronomy and science mentorship to children around the world.

If you've had the joy of seeing Mark work with children, you would be witness to an artist in his workshop - he has a gift to inspire and amaze children to a level they may never otherwise experience.

He can translate complex astrophysical phenomena into language so fully infused with enthusiasm and teaching that the child becomes enthralled!

The GoFundMe platform will support Mark while he mentors an underpriveleged child towards a potentially different future as he opens his or her horizons and hopes to the skies.


Special attention will be dedicated to serving children with less accessibility to science, families struggling with ADHD or children on the autistic spectrum or with learning differences, and any child hungry but underserved in her or his quest for space and scientific knowledge.

With extremely high quality, individually personalised videos and presentations, Mark will take each child on a one-to-one mentorship over a month-long journey and answer every single question each child has.

He will work with each child individually, but in order to give this much time and dedication to each child, he needs some support to cover basic needs while building his socialpreneurship.

The Problem

Mark has the knowledge, the passion, and the drive to change lives. But he lacks the resources.

He needs help to cover basic expenses so he can fully focus full-time on building this incredible project and turning his dream into a sustainable social enterprise.



The Vision

Imagine a young mind blossoming with the understanding of the cosmos.

Picture a child with learning difficulties finally grasping a complex scientific concept.

Envision the spark of curiosity that Mark can ignite in the hearts of underserved kids everywhere.

Children are often inspired to respond to Mark with drawings about space:

Postnote: Mark had incredible resistance to launching this GoFundMe, but after receiving hundreds of requests from across the globe for free astronomy mentorships for children in need - we were able to convince him that this is the best way to use his gift to influence the trajectory of potentially thousands of children's lives.

This is important now more than ever, as very young children are often expected to make subject choices to determine their university path and career.

Mark will be posting updates on this quest via his Facebook page and website - Kids In Orbit.

No contribution is too small, and your wishes are equally cherished. Let's come together to support Mark in his quest for spreading his gift to open the minds of future scientists as he opens his heart to help shape's children's career paths.

Mark has a calling to GIVE to children in need worldwide via his unique teaching method that harnesses enthusiasm, generosity, and kindness to influence a child's whole future.

Thank you, in turn, for your generosity and kindness.
