My dream is to put Getting Through What You’re Going Through into the hands of 7,000 students—not because it will give them every answer, but because it will remind them that what they’re going through matters, that God walks with them, and that they have the strength to endure.

This project is bigger than me.

I need your help. 

It’s about giving hope, language, and courage to a generation searching for a way forward.

With your help, we can gift these words to those who are trying to get through high school and college.

Because of generous partners like you, as of March 2026 we’ve already placed over 2,000 copies into the hands of students across more than 20 states—high schoolers and college students who needed encouragement right when they were struggling most.

But we’re not finished.

The goal is 7,000.

That means 5,000 more students are still waiting.

To reach them, we need to raise $50,000.

So here’s my invitation to you:

Would you help put this message into the hands of a student who needs it?

Whether you give to sponsor one book, a box of books, or help us reach an entire campus—you are directly placing hope into someone’s story.

Every gift matters. Every book matters. Every student matters.

Let’s finish this together.
