Support Deborah to attend Josiah's Naval Graduation!

Donation protected
Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted supporters,

We are reaching out on behalf of Deborah, a loving mother who lost her spouse in 2013 to stomach cancer, leaving behind their seven-year-old son, Josiah.

Deborah has dedicated her life's work to ensure Josiah's educational and career success. Her efforts proved worthy when he graduated with a 3.45 GPA from De La Salle North, a college preparatory school in Portland, OR.

Shortly after, Josiah made a heartfelt decision to honor his deceased father by joining the U.S. Navy. He has worked tirelessly to complete naval boot camp training. His upcoming graduation in Great Lakes, Illinois, on January 23rd, 2025, will be a moment of immense pride for their family.

However, due to financial difficulties, Deborah is struggling to afford the trip to be there for her son's milestone achievement.

This graduation not only symbolizes her son's hard work and dedication but also represents hope and resilience for their family after a great loss.

Your funds will offset the costs for lodging, airfare, ground transportation, and food.

Thanks in advance for your support.
