Help Joseph get to WA State University!
Donation protected
My son Joseph has proven himself an amazing young man. After several years of personal struggle, he found the drive and determination, within himself and the Bible to make exceptional positive changes in his life. He went from C's and D's, to graduate this month with 5 A's and a B! (As well as being selected, after two rounds of auditioning, to speak at graduation!!) He completely changed his diet and began a regular and rigorous exercise routine and to date has lost over 100 lbs! And for 2 years now has maintained a part-time job while attending school. He's now working full-time in an effort to save for college.
I've been blessed to be a stay at home Mom for several years now. I am now however unable to work for a combination of physical and mental health reasons. My partner is retired and living on a fixed income, and still does all he can to support Joseph and our 16 year old daughter Samantha. Joseph to-date has had to cover several of his own college fees. But there's always more, and he's not even there yet!
Thanks to some generous souls, we made it to freshman orientation on 7/9-11, but classes start 8/21 so we'll need to get him moved 300 miles away the weekend prior which is rapidly approaching! I'm also concerned about buying him new and warm clothing as well as making sure he has everything he needs for his dorm and school supplies. He would probably be embarrassed had I asked him about this, but he has absolutely awed me, and he deserves to not have to worry about starting this new and exciting life as the first in the family to attend a University. I ask for help for his sake, because he has earned the right to have the best chance at success without worrying about me being able to cover costs. Thank you for reading and God bless all who need a hand at times in life ❤️
