Imagine being told your whole life to just "be grateful" for whatever you're given. Hand-me-downs. Leftovers. The cheapest option on the shelf. Now imagine making it through foster care, earning straight As despite couch surfing, and getting accepted into your dream HBCU – only to hear that same message: "Take what you're given and be thankful someone's helping you."
That stops here. At Move-In Day Mafia, we're building a different future – one where exceptional students get the exceptional support they deserve.
These are future doctors, lawyers, and leaders who've already proven their worth by earning spots at prestigious HBCUs. When you're competing against 40,000 other applicants for just 2,200 seats at Howard, Clark Atlanta, and more, you've shown you're ready to change the world.
BUT WE CAN'T DO THIS ALONE!
These brilliant scholars need more than just their determination – they need a family that believes in them. That's where YOU come in.
By joining our Mafia, you're not just sending care packages. You're telling a young person who's heard "take what you can get" their whole life that they deserve to choose, to thrive, to dream bigger.

Transform Lives Through Adopt a Scholar
This isn't your typical care package program. This is about restoring dignity, one carefully chosen item at a time. When you've spent years being handed whatever's easiest or cheapest, something as simple as choosing your own shampoo brand becomes revolutionary.
That's why we do things the Mafia way: intentional, thoughtful, and full of love.
Our scholars get to choose exactly what they need – from their preferred toothpaste to their favorite snacks. While their initial dorm room makeovers are surprise gifts tailored to their personalities, these monthly wishlists put them in the driver's seat.
For many, it's their first time having a say in their personal care items. That's not just about comfort – it's about dignity.
