Help Keep Zech in College: Charleston LIFE Program

Hi, my name is Tanya, and I’m the proud mom of an incredible young man named Zech. Zech is 18 years old and was born with cerebral palsy and intellectual disabilities. His life has been filled with challenges, but also with courage, determination, and joy. He’s never let his diagnosis define him, and now, he’s living his dream by attending the College of Charleston through the Charleston LIFE Program.

This program is designed for students with intellectual disabilities, offering a college experience that includes inclusive education, independent living skills, and vocational training. For Zech, it’s more than just school it’s a place where he’s growing, learning, and becoming more independent every day. It’s a space where he belongs.

Zech is one of the most loving and caring people you’ll ever meet. He has a heart for helping others and lights up when he’s outside whether he’s walking, exploring, or just soaking in the sunshine. His kindness and enthusiasm are contagious, and he brings joy to everyone around him.

We’re raising funds to help cover Zech’s tuition and program fees so he can continue this life-changing journey. Every single dollar donated goes directly toward his tuition. Your generosity will help Zech stay in college, continue building his future, and prove that with the right support, anything is possible.

If you believe in inclusion, education, and the power of perseverance, please consider donating or sharing this campaign. Thank you for helping us keep Zech’s dream alive.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Tanya
