Branden's Concurrent College Classes Fund


Last summer, Branden spent his days working. He tried to put his money away, but he ended up paying our electric bill and other bills. We appreciated his help with his money, but then he did not have his money for himself.

During this senior year, he was able to take some college classes for full college credits, but at a reduced cost. We were to pay this college bill last fall, but never seemed to have enough money to ever do that. Since he was taking more than a full class load, with no study halls and an extra class with no class time to make up the credits from missing his freshman year, we did not allow him to get a job as it was more important for him to receive good grades and credits toward graduating high school. Well, our financial situation still has not gotten to where we can afford to pay this college bill. But it needs to be paid before he can enroll in college, sign up for college classes, and receive financial aid and scholarships for next year.

He only needs $700, but that is more than one-quarter of our monthly income. Please help us get this bill paid before June 13th. That is the new deadline that the college has given us to pay this bill. If it were any later, we would be able to use the money he would receive at his graduation party. Please, if it suits you better, you could donate to this bill instead of giving Branden a monetary gift for graduation. He would love to have this bill paid so that he can get on with his future.

Thank you, you mean more to us than you will ever know.




Summer Camps


Nathaniel would like to attend Boy Scout Summer Camp and Northern Grace Youth Camp (Bible/church Camp) this summer. All our children would like to attend NGYC, but we just do not have the funds available for this. I am hoping that by reaching out to the community, maybe we could get enough financial help to send at least one, but maybe more of our children to summer camp this year.

We have applied for a scholarship for scout camp, but this year they are not covering his whole fee. Please find it in your heart to help us get Nathaniel, and possibly others, off to camps this year.

Thank you.
