Provide Hope and Help to Low-Income Students Faced with Potentially Tragic Consequences Due to Campus Shutdowns

5/2/2020

 

People are helping economically impacted communities via stimulus checks.
Help low-income college students now with emergency needs

(even $10 helps). Campaign ends May 5, giving tuesday.

I'D LIKE TO HELP WITH COMPUTERS, HOUSING AND FOOD
Picture
Last week we provided refurbished MacBooks to 2 DC college students,Taronne and Da-Quon, who left their shutdown campuses with computers on their last legs. Imagine being Da-Quon, an honor roll candidate, 2nd year of college and first in his family to attend, with a computer that gives out ... up that creek without a paddle, navigating way rougher waters these days. Fortunately, Da-Quon's "paddle", a MacBook, puts him back on course.
Imagine being an American Indian college scholar, your campus served as access to technology, housing and food. How do you continue pursuing your healthcare, STEM or education degree? You might have to dropout! What do you do without a computer to stay on track ... up that creek floating helplessly downstream without a paddle?

"Conspicuously left out of the $2 trillion stimulus package, most high school seniors and many college students are not eligible for broad financial assistance from the government to help them dig out of the pandemic's economic hole." The Washington Post, April 24, 2020
I understand & care to help
Campaign Ends May 5th, Giving Tuesday 
Picture
When you reflect on it, the virus-caused shutdowns illuminate how an unaffordable computer is like that paddle, a lifesaver for low-income students' challenging journey paddling upstream toward the American dream, out of poverty, and the low-wage working class life of so many people in our country.
According to The Washington Post, 44% of all workers in the US have jobs that are considered low wage, with median pay of $10.22/per hour; additionally they lack benefits such as health insurance. Many students and their parents held low wage jobs and no longer have them! What a predicament ... up that creek without a paddle. You can’t just go out and buy a new or used laptop; neither you nor your family has the money, especially now if both of you lost a job.
All Out for Change® provides hope and help to low-income students like Kevin, Taronne, Da-Quon and American Indian college scholars faced with potentially tragic consequences due to campus shutdowns along with their limited financial resources (the socio-economic conundrum built into our country’s educational system).
Campaign Ends May 5th, Giving Tuesday

Stay well and help make good news happen!
