Unlock the WORLD of Equitable Opportunities for Students

Happy New Year! As we enter 2025, we invite you to join us in transforming the lives of middle school students in Orangevale, California, particularly those from lower-income and working-class families.

Many students are trapped in a cycle of disadvantage, which affects their academic and social success. By providing access to ENRICHING, EQUITABLE EXPERIENCES, we can empower their dreams—these are experiences that many of their more affluent peers take for granted.

While some of his friends enjoy weeks spent camping or traveling to places like Hawaii, Jakiah, like many students from lower-income backgrounds, doesn't have the opportunity to take vacations. Instead, he struggles with loneliness and lacks supervision during his summer days.

This is a critical opportunity for students who have never left their neighborhoods to explore the world and envision a brighter future.

Together, we can ENSURE THAT NO STUDENT IS LEFT BEHIND.

Another fantastic sixth-grade student, Samantha, is excited about seeing the places she has only read about. Samantha (Sam) tells us how excited she is to spend time with us, her teachers; sadly, her mom is no longer in the picture. Your generosity can profoundly impact her educational journey and personal growth.

These two students reflect the students we work with daily in our classrooms. Their abundance of potential only needs a SPARK to be ignited. Thank you for considering this chance to create lasting change in lives. Our students, just like Jakiah and Sam, celebrate EVERY dollar donated.

(While the student names are fictitious, these students accurately represent the very real middle school kids our program supports.)

FYI —Your donations qualify for a 2025 Tax Deduction! We will promptly provide the Tax ID number.

Warmly,

Lynne R. and Becky F.

Thank you.
