Helping JP

By crystal • February 11, 2014

I wanted to reach out to see if you can help with my friend, JP's story. He was diagnosed with T1 Diabetes at age 3 and has inspired me since I met him! He is an amazing young man, who is active in the community, with dreams and ideas of how to inspire other T1 diabetics reach their dreams.

He has just moved to San Francisco from a Luling, LA to attend the Academy of Art University. He is the first person in his family to go to college, and this is his first time leaving home. As you can imagine the costs of which are huge, as our families aren't really well off. We pulled enough money to get him there for this semester, and have been working on making sure he stays there. Could you possibly spread the word, even if it's just a tweet or anything, about his Go Fund Me crowd-funding campaign to help him afford next semester at school? Any help in spreading the word would be amazing. I would be forever grateful, as he is working so hard and I would love to help in any way make his dream come true.

I appreciate any consideration!
