Help Me Send 2 Zambian Students to College Again

Donation protected
Hello friends and Hi world.

Welcome back to our second year of fundraising to send two Zambian students to college. Last year, I launched a campaign to help five students attend college. Unfortunately, I only raised enough to send one student to college. Although I did not meet my goal, you helped me change one student's life. He is thriving and enjoying his freshman year at the University of Zambia as an Economics student.

This year, I am asking for your support again! Will you partner with me to send two Zambian students to college? I aim to raise enough funds for our current scholarship recipient and a second student.

Let’s continue to make dreams come true.

You can learn more about last year's campaign at jessmakeroom or the previous GoFundMe campaign page here.
