Difference for a Week: We provide cellular phones and plans,  mentors and provide care packages and other financial support to our college students.

We currently have 11 students in college that we support! Students attend Merced, San Francisco State, UCSD, SDSU, Grossmont College and San Diego City College. We provide them with a cellphone and service, school supplies, books, bus/trolley passes and other financial needs throughout the year. When the students move into dorms or apartments, we take them shopping for bedding, towels and other necessities.  Our generous sponsor, REAL DEAL FURNITURE, provides new beds.   We send CARE PACKAGES to our out of town students. The in-town students meet with mentors bi-monthly.

WE HELP OUR COLLEGE STUDENTS SUCCEED!
