Hello There!

If you are reading this than you have been invited to share in making a future for Aurora. An education is priceless.  It is the one thing that you can never loose or misplace.  NO one can ever take it away from you and it is the one thing proven to help anyone become independent and successful in this thing we call LIFE.  I believe that if we (Auroras' family) all join together...over time we can make college at a four year institution a reality for her.

If we donated $5, $10, $20 or more instead of buying a toy or trinket for a special occasion or birthday then our goal can become Auroras' REALITY!

Over the next 8 years we can come together as Auroras' family and help guarantee her a bright, successful future.   YES, thats true!  Aurora will be 18 and college ready in 8 years.  We have established Aurora with a money market account that she is the sole beneficiary to.  This will also earn money over time with interest on the balance that she will have in her account.  She will then be able to go to school and get an education without drowning in student loans and/or working multiple jobs.  Our goal is for Aurora to go and learn and get out of a FOUR year College debt free.

We can make her future bright!  It all begins with one donation.  You will be amazed at how much each dollar will add up.  This is YOUR gift to her and AURORAS' money to spend for HER college education.

I will be updating this site regularly to keep everyone up-to-date on her progress.

We opted to do this rather than an online donation site because although they were free to host her donation site, they charged certain percentages (2.1%, 5.9% being the lowest that I found) of every donation.  I believe that every cent should go toward Auroras' goal.  This is where the money market account came about.  It is a secure Capital One Money Market account linked directly to the Donate button noted on the top right corner of this webpage.

Please note that there is no pressure to donate today.  This is mainly a savings account for Aurora.  We are all a part of her life and I think that If we all joined together that we could reach higher goals than just saving as individuals.
