Hello my name is Yannick Kabamba and I attend the University of Northwestern in St. Paul, Minnesota.

I am in need of $6,000 in tuition in order to go back to school in two weeks. My goal is to raise the money by January 7th! I am invested in my school, one of the starting football players, I am deeply connected with our Black Student Union, and have built a community there. I am majoring in Finance and very passionate about my future.

I planned to make as much of the money as I could when I went home for Christmas break but got into a car accident, flipping my car and totaling it in Nebraska. I was stuck in a motel for a week, unable to get home and unable to work.

With my mom moving states, I won’t be home until she makes the trip back to California on January 2. I have only been able to make scraps of what I need for the rest of my tuition. I won't be able to go back unless I am able to raise this money. It would mean a lot to me if you are able to donate to help; as I have already had to put of school before. Please share with as many people as you know and on your social media platforms.
