Dorm Supplies for Anthony who is excited to start UCLA

Posted Apr 23, 2019
Anthony will be attending UCLA this summer for pre-college sessions and officially a student in the Fall. Although Anthony has received some funding for tuition, fees and books, he needs assistance with getting several items for his dorm room. Normally his great grandmother would assist him but sadly she recently passed away. Anthony is determined to go to college and graduate so that he can be the first in his family to attend and graduate college.

Anthony is 22 years old and lives in CA

Anthony is a remarkable young man who gives so much to others. Anthony is a member of a speakers' panel that speaks about their experiences in the foster care system. He has maintained a 4.3 GPA throughout high school while also balancing sports, the speakers panel and helping with his aging great grandmother. Anthony has been in guardianship with his great grandmother since he was 14 but she just passed away a few weeks ago. His grandmother's wish was that he attend college and Anthony just did a tour and has committed to UCLA which was one of 15 colleges he was accepted to. He had hoped she would make it to see his graduation from high school but knows she will be smiling down on him. Anthony recently went on a college tour and later committed to attend UCLA where he will major in communications and minor in Sports public relations.
