Give

$500 carries one neighbor all the way out.

Twenty weeks of gift cards, twenty dinners, twenty nights of childcare, a workbook, and a seat at the graduation banquet. That is the whole cost of getting one person from the first Monday to the last.

Pick an amount

Every line below is a real cost, not a suggested tier.

Some other number

Make it monthly. A class runs for twenty weeks. Steady giving is what lets us tell someone in March that there is a seat for them in September.

Why the gift card matters

Twenty Monday nights is four and a half months of turning down a shift, finding a ride, and sitting in a room being honest. The $25 says out loud that we know what we are asking, and that showing up should never leave somebody further behind than when they started.
