Thank you EVERY ONE who donated and helped this goal to be reached in such a short amount of time. Know that your generosity given donations have touched the life of a student that most people wouldn't give a second look too. Because we reached our goal, we are going to close this fund so that others can benefit. Thank you SO much.
