Imagine If Initiative: SJ Boots 16th Birthday Pledge

Hi everyone!

I can’t believe I’m turning 16! Looking back on this journey, it’s amazing to see how far we’ve come together.

At just 6 years old, I recorded my first video to raise money for building wells in Africa. Little did I know it would lead to so many opportunities to help others. Together, we’ve:

Helped build a school.

Provided uniforms and desks for kids.

Paid tuition to help children get an education.

Funded clean water projects.

Provided meals for students and families.

These experiences taught me the power of community and inspired me to start The Imagine If Initiative. This charity supports women in a small village in Uganda, helping them build better lives through entrepreneurship.

What We’ve Accomplished Together:

Built a community of empowerment and collaboration.

42 loans were given to help women start or grow their businesses.

Of the 42 loans given, 97.6% have been successfully repaid, showing the dedication and resilience of the women we support.

Monthly gatherings where women:

Receive financial training and resources.

Share challenges, celebrate victories, and uplift one another.

Support each other through hardships, with The Imagine If Initiative matching their efforts.

Built a community of empowerment and collaboration.

Why This Matters:

These women aren’t just receiving loans; they’re gaining tools to become leaders and changemakers in their families and communities. I’ve seen the joy on a woman’s face when she repays her loan and shares how she’s saved money to provide for her family and contribute to her community. These moments remind me why I started The Imagine If Initiative and why it’s essential to keep going.

I’m asking if you can continue supporting me so we can continue doing meaningful work for my birthday. Regardless of size, every donation helps us empower more women, create brighter futures, and expand our impact.

Thank you for being part of this journey, from my first fundraiser at 6 to now as I turn 16. Imagine If we keep doing small things with great love to make a big difference.
