<div>Help our Son Stay in College — A Selfless Leader Who Needs Your Support
</div>
<div>Hello, friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our name is Samantha and Andrae we are reaching out with a humble and urgent request to help our son, a compassionate, hardworking, and service-driven young man, stay in college and continue walking in his purpose.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Despite our efforts, we are facing a $8,000 tuition balance that must be paid to secure his enrollment for the next semester. Without this support, he risks being forced to pause or give up his education — something he has worked far too hard for and poured his whole heart into.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Who He Is — A Leader, Mentor, and Role Model
</div>
<div>My son is not only a student — he’s a leader, a mentor, and a young man with a servant’s heart.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He is currently employed at the YMCA as a Leadership Counselor, where he dedicates himself to guiding and mentoring youth. His supervisors have described him as selfless, dependable, and deeply committed to helping others thrive.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In his free time, he volunteers as a youth basketball referee, helping young kids not only play but understand and appreciate the game. He uses these moments to teach discipline, teamwork, and self-respect — life lessons that go beyond the court.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He also proudly participated in the Tar Heel Boys State Leadership Program, a highly respected summer initiative that develops civic leadership and community-minded responsibility. His passion for being of service to others isn't just something he does — it’s who he is.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A Bright Future Ahead
</div>
<div>As a first-year college student, he’s already distinguishing himself. He joined Phi Kappa Tau, a nationally recognized leadership fraternity that unites young men with a commitment to personal growth, campus improvement, and brotherhood. It’s not just about belonging for him — it’s about becoming.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This young man is doing everything right:
</div>
<div>✔️ Working part-time at the YMCA
</div>
<div>✔️ Volunteering in the community
</div>
<div>✔️ Maintaining his academic performance
</div>
<div>✔️ Leading with humility and purpose
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But financial hardship has placed a burden we cannot carry alone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>How You Can Help
</div>
<div>We are asking, from the bottom of our hearts, for your help. Any amount — big or small — can make a real difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donations will go directly toward:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Tuition and required fees
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Academic materials and books
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Keeping him enrolled and on track to graduate
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Even $20, $50, or $100 helps close the gap. And if you’re not in a place to give financially, sharing this fundraiser with your network is a powerful gift, too.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Why This Matters
</div>
<div>When you invest in him, you’re investing in a future leader — someone who’s already giving back, already lifting others, and already making a difference. He’s not just going to college for himself — he’s going so he can serve others even better.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your prayers, your support, and your belief in the power of lifting each other up.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With deep gratitude,
</div>
<div>Samantha Griffiths
</div>
<div>Andrae Griffiths
</div>
