Two Sisters. One Legacy. A Future Worth Funding.

Meet Twins Evangeline and Graciella Simmons.

These twin sisters were raised in a family grounded in love, service, and purpose. Now, they’re stepping boldly into college and inviting you to be part of their journey.

They’re not just college-bound. They’re purpose-driven, scholarship-earning, top-of-their-class graduates with big dreams and the discipline to back them up.

Evangeline – Storyteller. Scholar. Future Educator.

Evangeline will attend Rochester Institute of Technology as part of the inaugural English B.S. cohort. She’s earned a full tuition waiver, access to RIT’s 4+1 master’s program, and placement in co-op and study abroad programs.

She led her Japanese Club, captained the golf team, and mentored peers—all while excelling in 7 AP classes. Her dream? To use storytelling, literature, and education to bridge cultures and inspire young minds.

Funding Need: $15,000

To cover housing, books, travel, and global learning experiences not covered by tuition.

Graciella – Entrepreneur. Strategist. Community Builder.

Graciella will attend Howard University’s School of Business as a Marketing major in its Executive Leadership Honors Program. She’s passionate about food justice, inspired by family traditions and global service work.

She captained her volleyball team, launched a jewelry business, taught dance, and traveled to South Africa to study community-based entrepreneurship.

Funding Need: $25,000

To bridge tuition, housing, and business development opportunities.

Why This Matters

Evangeline and Graciella are the living legacy of a father, a Marine Corps veteran and member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, and a mother from a multi-generational military family. They’ve earned everything. But even with scholarships, the full cost of college creates a significant financial gap.

Your support helps them focus on learning, not loans—and positions them to pay your investment forward by leading, mentoring, and giving back.

This is not a handout. It’s a launchpad.

Give boldly. Watch what they do with it.
