Help Underprivileged Students in My Parents' Hometown

Donation protected
Hey friends,

Since you’re coming to my 60th, I just want to say...please, no gifts!
But if you were thinking of doing something, I’d love it if you’d consider donating to a cause that’s close to my heart.

I’ve been supporting a scholarship fund since 2000 in honor of my parents, Lawrence & Terry Martis. They never had the chance to attend college because their families couldn’t afford it, so I started the Lawrence & Terry Martis Scholarship to help students from their village—Shirva, India—who attend St. Mary’s College and face similar financial challenges.

Right now, we help 15-20 students a year with their tuition. I continue to grow the fund so we can support more kids, or give each of them a little more help.

If you’d like to donate, your support will mean the world to me, and to the underprivileged students whose lives and futures you will help to shape.

Much love & thanks,
Wilf
