Hi, I'm Uncle Rick.

Today, my nephew Gavin is graduating high school, and I couldn’t be prouder. He’s overcome more than most his age. Gavin lost his dad—my brother—in a tragic car accident when he was very young. It’s been a tough road, but he’s made it through with resilience and a good heart.

As he steps into adulthood, I want to give him a small financial boost to help him get started. Whether it’s for school, his car, or just a bit of breathing room—he deserves it.

Gavin dreams of studying culinary arts. He loves cooking, hanging out with his cat, gaming, and driving his car. He’s a good kid with a big heart and big potential.

I'm pledging to match every donation up to $500. I’m not a wealthy man, but I want to see him start off right. My goal is to raise at least $1,000 to give him a meaningful start—$500 from me, and hopefully $500 from generous folks like you.

No amount is too small, and I’ll make sure to share how the funds are given to him—whether through my Facebook or another way. His reaction is something I’d love to show you.

Thanks for helping me show Gavin that he’s supported and loved.
