On April 13th, the team met for the first time in three months. We had fantastic discussion about making sure that we stay true to the original purpose of the fundraiser. To help teen moms with housing and resources.

We did it! When we started this project, the experts told us that we could raise more than $100,000, and we knew that we wanted this to be a challenge that was going to take effort and work, but still be achievable. So the planning team settled on $202,600, and you know what…

Three and a half years seems like such a long time. And yet, with only a few days left to our campaign, it feels like it flew by. A few days left to share the word about what we’re doing, about how much we’ve raised already and how much good we plan to do with it.

When the U&I 4 USI Committee first came up with the $202,600 goal for the campaign to help the Unaccompanied Students Initiative organization build a new home that will provide housing for unhoused student mothers and their children, I was very skeptical. After all, I saw the amounts for contributions and other income that FCC received on a monthly basis and wondered how we would ever be able to raise this additional amount.
