Announcing the Campaign to Help a Selfless Veteran Fund his College Education



Help a Veteran Get His Teaching License

Plainfield, NJ -- March 25, 2015 -- DeRay Shawn, military veteran and college student, announces the campaign to seek funding to cover the cost of finishing his teaching degree and getting his teaching license.

DeRay has suffered a great deal in his life. Being raised by his grandparents in a less than safe neighborhood, DeRay saw his share of hardship, death and despair. Despite successfully fighting his way through high school and making it into college, DeRay suffered a major car accident that left him with a traumatic brain injury and spinal cord injury that both required significant rehabilitation and recovery efforts before he was able to return to his regular life. With all of these setbacks DeRay was still not deterred, and not only finished with his Bachelor’s Degree, but continued on to pursue his Master’s Degree in education.

This is where things took a turn for the worse. Due to an error created by his college’s new accounting system, suddenly DeRay found himself with a past due balance of $2,500, none of which he had in cash or credit to pay back. Although he attempted to work out a payment plan or use the GI bill (military benefits that can be used towards college credits), he was told he had to pay his balance in full or risk being disenrolled mid-semester. At the same time, he was also diagnosed with worrisome masses on his thyroid that his doctors expressed great concern over. On top of all this, a job he truly cared about, working as a youth counselor, ended suddenly and he was not offered a full-time position. DeRay spent the following year nearly homeless and destitute, begging for friends and family to put him up for a few nights on their couches before moving on.

Luckily for DeRay, he has spent the last 6 months slowly paying back some of his debt through a call center operator position, where he has done very well and has enjoyed his work. He has finally been able to pay off the past due amount and is able to re-enroll in college to complete his degree.

DeRay is seeking funding in the amount of $50,000 to cover his bills as well as the tuition that will not be covered by the remaining 7 months of his GI bill benefits. DeRay’s goal is to complete his education and apply for his teaching license, giving him the opportunity to work with at-risk youth at a larger capacity that he had been able to as a youth counselor.

Please considering donating to help a military veteran reach his dreams after years of hardship.

Announcing the Campaign to Help Fund a Better Way to Pay for College Textbooks



Help an entrepreneur kickstart a business providing discount college course textbooks and materials

Troy, New York  February 21, 2015 – Brandon Kramer announces the campaign to provide discount college textbooks and materials to college students. There is a serious problem plaguing today's financially-strapped college students: namely, the cost of textbooks and materials. They are often not covered by financial aid, scholarships, or grant money, and often it can be difficult for students to find the appropriate edition, copy, or version that is requested by the instructor. On top of this, sometimes the student is unable sell back the books due to their age, length of use, or simply because they have become outdated since the last printing.

College textbook prices are 812 percent higher than they were a little more than three decades ago, the American Enterprise Institute, a think tank, reports. Textbook costs have well outpaced the 559 percent increase in tuition and fees over roughly the same period.

Brandon Kramer's goal is to change this situation for the millions of college-bound students struggling in the same situation. No family should have to make the tough decision, trying to determine where the funding for yet another college expense is going to come from. Brandon did not come from wealthy family himself, and they unfortunately were not able to spare the money for him to pursue a college degree. Because of this experience, Brandon wants to save other potential college students the trouble of making this sacrifice.

Brandon's campaign involves starting a website-based business where college students could find both the materials and the course textbooks required for their college courses, but offered at rock-bottom prices compared to what they would normally pay at the university. By donating to his project, you are helping college students everywhere save money on their books and materials, allowing them to spend more of their money towards tuition and all of the other aspects of college that are so expensive.
