What’s up, my name is Christopher Porter, and I’m asking for help to cover the last bit of what I need to start college and wrestle at the next level.

I just graduated from New Smyrna Beach High School, where I was a state qualifier at 175 lbs. Now, I’ve been recruited to wrestle at Felician University, an NCAA Division II school, and I’m working hard to become a national champion.

I’ve already done my part — I applied, finished my FAFSA, and earned a scholarship. I’m super grateful, but there’s still around $2,000 left I need to get started — mainly for books, supplies, and things for my dorm.

I’m not looking for a handout — I’m just trying to get some help getting over this last obstacle. I’m gonna keep grinding no matter what, but any support would mean a lot. Even if it’s just sharing this, that helps too.

This is something I’ve worked for, and I don’t plan on wasting it. I’m ready to go all in, both in the classroom and on the mat. Thank you for reading, supporting, or just believing in me.

Let’s get to work.
