Imagine if you're a freshman arriving at college alone. The stress of starting the next chapter of your life is hard enough, but it's nothing compared to starting this journey with no idea of how you will meet your basic daily needs, too.
Can you imagine what it feels like to watch your roommate's family joyfully unpacking a mountain of supplies and essentials on move-in day while you sit across the room with no one and barely anything to unload?
This is the harsh reality for thousands of teens aging out of the Foster Care system.
Enter The Move-In Day Mafia (MIDM)!
We are a "MOB" of volunteers who deploy to HBCUs (Historically Black Colleges & Universities) with the sole mission of providing dorm room makeovers to the scholars who have aged out of foster care, are homeless or need more financial support.
Did you know that while 70% of kids in foster care dream of going to college, only 3% get to see their dreams realized and only 1% graduate?
Therefore, those who go to college are already beating the odds. So yeah…they need us.
And YOU can help!
By buying a raffle ticket, you not only get a chance to win $500, but you’re also helping us provide much-needed support for deserving students. All proceeds go towards supporting the students who benefit from The Move-In Day Mafia with the primary mission of disrupting the Foster Care to Prison Pipeline and replacing it with the Foster Care to HBCU Graduate Pipeline!
*$107 in honor of 107 HBCUs.
