The money will go into my Paypal account, and I will gather it into one lump sum and send it as a check to Covenant House in Newark, NJ. (I chose a young person from NJ because this is the state I was living in when my patron found me—the same patron without whom I would never have completed my undergraduate work, let alone gone on to complete a Master’s degree and now, very nearly, a Ph.D.).

If you don’t trust me with the money, you can also send it directly to the following address:

Covenant House
330 Washington Street
Newark, NJ 07102

(If you choose this option, please clearly indicate on your check or enclosed letter that the money is intended for “The undergraduate education of a deserving youth.”)

You can also view the website for Covenant House here.

If you do donate, please indicate to me whether or not you would like the recipient of the money to know your name. If not, I will keep you anonymous.

The goal is to raise $2,000 total, although more than that would be fantastic.

It’s not even close to the cost of tuition, but it is a start. Covenant House will make sure the money goes directly to the educational institution.

Thank you for your help.
