An estimated 50% of college students do not have enough to eat. As many as 10% are homeless.
We help college professors and their unions help their students, distributing emergency aid FAST.
Our students are, in the words of a longtime professor, “trying to do something for themselves in a country that does very little to help them. We’ve shredded the social safety net; we’ve defunded our public colleges and public schools. Yet, against all these odds, they are trying to succeed with the only thing left out there that is a life raft—which is education.”
Just like your parents helped you pay that last-minute bill, or your friends spotted you cash when you were short, we help college students who have nowhere else to turn. It’s quick, it’s simple, and it works.
