Gifting Him the Needed Funds for College

Hello, since hearing about this great idea from Robbi, I am excited to share my #RAokForEddie;

I was recently introduced to my longtime friend's 21 year old nephew who has no help from his parents and wants badly to go to an electronic arts college and has been saving every penny that he
can while working several jobs. He is a great and talented kid and had only been able to save a small portion of what he needed. After speaking with him and his Aunt I found out that with available grants and student loans that he was still short by an amount that is many times larger than what he had been able to save and that it would likely take him two or three years to save enough money to be able to start college. After confirming this with his college of choice, I let him know that I would gift him the needed funds to get started right away. His Aunt confirmed today that he will be starting next semester and she said that this has already changed his life on many levels.

This was done for and in Eddie's honor and perhaps we can visit this young man at his school together so Eddie can meet him.

With best wishes and love,
~Leo - San Francisco and the 21 year old lives in Emeryville, California.
