An amazing kid needs our help
Donation protected
Joania ("JoJo") Hernandez is a senior at Cooper City High School in Cooper City, FL. Despite being born with a facial difference, she has proven to be a strong, well-adjusted teenager. Two weeks before she turned 18, JoJo came home to find her belongings packed in boxes at the front door. She now lives on her own, looking for part-time jobs to support herself while still attending high school. Unfortunately, finding a part-time job hasn’t been easy for JoJo due to her facial scarring. Over 40 companies have turned her down, some of which gave her a “no thanks” before even asking her the first interview question. She was able to find employment with Walgreens, but she’s still looking for more work “just to have somewhere to go after school”.
I’d like to raise enough money so that JoJo can focus on finishing high school without the financial pressure of supporting herself while doing so. She receives no financial support from her parents. She’s on her own.
The CTV Club at Cooper City High School posted the following video on the school's website. Watch the video to hear her story. JoJo appears in the video at 2 minutes and 12 seconds.

Any financial support you can give will be greatly appreciated. Jojo is an amazing girl and your donation will be a big help. 100% of all donations will go directly to JoJo to help pay for her living and education expenses.
My name is Steve Baker. I live in Cooper City, FL and my daughter goes to school with JoJo. We frequent the Walgreens where JoJo works. I was shown the video linked above and it really touched me. I felt I needed to do something to ease the burden this child must be feeling every day of her life. Please donate if you can.
And yes...JoJo is now aware of this GoFundMe and has agreed to accept our help. I set up the withdrawal option from this campaign so that JoJo receives the money directly from GoFundMe via bank transfer. Let’s make this a Christmas she’ll never forget!!!
Thank you!
