I am James Hobart, a Linked In member for many years who has found a worthy financial situation for the person being shared with you. I met this young man through Linked In as he is also a member, and after hearing his heart touching story, decided to see if we as a community could help out someone with their basic education requirements.

The young man is Salieu Susso from Gambia in West Africa. He is a student with 3 semesters left before he can transfer to a certification course that will prepare him for his future.

Salieu recently lost his father, who brought in the family’s operating expenses, including his education costs. We all know how important education is in everyone’s life and how the lack of it can be disastrous for long term planning.

I am asking my Linked In family for help with this young man. His entire cost of the remaining education for his certification is five thousand dollars ($5,000).

We know the cost of education in this country and looking at his request would consider it unworthy of review, yet the objective can easily be reached with small donations, maybe $ 20 or less that can accomplish the objective.

Please consider the request to help someone achieve the basic education needed to support long term dreaming, performance, and activity. I thank you for your participation in helping out someone in need.
