Joe is an ambitious student entering his second year at Drake University, where he is double majoring in computer science and marketing. He’s always been passionate about learning and is determined to build a future that allows him to support himself and his loved ones. Joe’s dedication to his studies is clear—he’s balancing two challenging fields and is eager to take on internships that will help him grow and prepare for a successful career after graduation.


Our family recently faced an unexpected setback. We had carefully saved for Joe’s tuition, but a sudden vehicle breakdown forced us to use those funds for urgent repairs. Now, Joe is at risk of not being able to return to school this year unless we can bridge the gap. We’re reaching out for help to ensure he can continue his education and pursue the opportunities he’s worked so hard for.


Joe’s motivation goes beyond his own future—he is deeply committed to supporting his little brother Jay, who has Down syndrome, is non-verbal autistic, and uses a wheelchair. Joe hopes to help care for Jay, advocate for his needs, and provide financial stability for our family. Every contribution will go directly toward Joe’s tuition and school expenses, helping him stay enrolled, gain valuable experience, and move closer to his dream of building a stable future for himself and for Jay. Thank you for considering a donation to help Joe keep moving forward.
