Hi, my name is Christopher Byrd Jr., and I’m raising education funds to help me start my first year of college strong. I will be graduating from Marion High School on May 16th, 2026, with a 3.8 GPA, and I’m excited to continue my education as an engineering major at Henderson State University. I’ve been fortunate to earn both academic and athletic scholarships, and I’m extremely grateful for every opportunity that has come my way. Even with scholarships, there are still important expenses that aren’t covered — things like books, supplies, dorm essentials, travel, and basic living costs.

I’m committed to working hard, staying focused, and keeping everyone who supports my journey updated through my parents. I’m asking for support from my friends, family, and extended village to help me close this financial gap so I can begin this next chapter fully prepared and stress‑free. My goal is simple: to bring together at least one hundred supporters who believe in my journey. Every contribution matters, no matter the size. Your generosity will help me take one more step toward building the future I’ve been working toward since grade school.

Thank you in advance for believing in me, supporting my education, and being a vital part of the network that has shaped who I am. I won’t let you down.
