Top Student Loses Home in CA Fire

Donation protected
On November 8 Juliette Sells, a 16-year-old senior at Paradise High School, fled her burning home in what would become California's deadliest wildfire to date- the Camp Fire. Winds were over 45 MPH as she drove alone through burning homes and crashing trees to reach safety. She narrowly escaped with the clothes on her back saving herself and her two small dogs Bruno and Soleil. The Camp Fire has decimated her hometown just weeks before her seventeenth birthday and amidst college application deadlines. This campaign's purpose is to support Juliette's upcoming college expenses and academic endeavors in the face of total loss and destruction. We need your support.

Juliette is my younger sister and an outstanding scholar and citizen. She holds a 3.96 GPA and has the transcripts to prove it. She is in the top 11% of her graduating class and has always challenged herself through advanced courses and leadership positions within her basketball and volleyball teams. During her junior year, Juliette founded Paradise High School's first ever Chemistry Club where students received academic support from peers and staff.

Juliette also worked as a Chemistry Lab Technician, worked local fundraisers to support Paradise youth organizations, wrote and published the 2018 Annual Mock Trial Script for local elementary students, served as the select California Civic Learning Partnership Student Representative with the local Superior Court, and helped the PHS volleyball team to becoming 2017 League Champions, all while working an average of 18.5 hours per week as a server at Feather Canyon Retirement Living and as a Team Member at Joy Lyn's Candies, a local gourmet candy shop holding prestigious awards in the confectioner's realm.

Juliette has goals of attending a four-year university in fall 2019. She will be a first-generation college student hailing from a household headed by a strong single mother. Her academic interests include psychology and business with an emphasis in real estate. The funds raised from this campaign will go directly towards supporting Juliette's educational pursuits.
Please view the chart and images below for a detailed breakdown of how funds raised will be dispersed.

Aside from her extensive list of academic and personal accomplishments, Juliette Sells is an incredibly compassionate and caring young person. She is exactly the kind of individual we call on to become leaders of our world. Juliette has always looked to serve others before herself. Now, I call on others to support this young individual and her bright and promising future. Together, we can rebuild. #ParadiseStrong
