I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your contribution to my education. This blessing has lifted a huge burden off me. I have been so worried about keeping up with my classes and possibly having to walk away from my education all together. Now I won't and don't have to. Thank you for helping me stay in school.

I would truly like to thank the organization for the books and school supplies during this time of need. The help took away my wondering thoughts of how to succeed with this semesters education without monetary funds; thank you kindly for investing in me and my education.

Thank you so much for the support with helping in assisting with furthering my education. My family is very appreciative for Invest in U for relieving some stress while I am trying to better our future! It is such a blessing to be able to be a full time student and although my journey is just beginning, Invest in U has given me the push to not give up.
