Hi, my name is Karen and I'm raising funds for my godson Josiah. Let's get Josiah through his final year of school and hopefully onto a scholarship. Josiah goes to the United Scholastic Academy, an elite basketball school.

Ever since he was a little kid, he aspired to be a basketball player and he has worked hard to make his dream come true. His skills on the court are one thing -- he also has maintained the honour roll in his classes (way to go, Jo!!)

Josiah's mom wants to give him the best chance in life, but it's been extremely challenging. She is a single mom of three who has been on disability (and trying to return to her teaching job in the fall). Josiah's dad died when he was just 7.

Josiah has done amazing. He's worked hard to get where he is. He is even working a part-time summer job to help cover his fees, food, shoes (size 16), travel for games.

He just needs a little help to finish off the year.

Can you help?

I know it's been a tough year, a lot of us are feeling the pinch in the economy. But if we all come together, I'm sure we can help Nat and Josiah finish this year off.
