Hello, my name is Reynhard. I am a student in university and i am in the process of doing my bachelors in mechatronic engineering. I  am currently struggling to finance my degree.

The only person who has hope left for my future is me and i would genuinely appreciate any help. I have overcome my depression and am try to see the beauty in everything. When i sit outside and see the colorful sky; i tell myself to not lose hope, because if i keep trying everyday then the sky might look even more beautiful tomorrow.

I was never rich or spoiled growing up, but i lost my dad a few years back, 2023, and it completely  devastated me, and made me feel like nothing was worth it anymore. Due to my dads hopes and dreams for me, I used the funds he left me to financed a year of my degree. My older brother also got a smaller amount of money due to him being older. Then (mid 2024) he asked me if he could borrow money because he was not doing well at the time, because he said he will pay for my college and support me when he gets back on his feat, this kept on for a while because i had trust in him. At the end of 2025, he kicked me out of the house and the reserve money i kept aside is currently paying for my food and lodging close to the campus i study at, but i have no way of paying for my college tuition and the only person i had that i could’ve relied on was my brother for money. My other family are all also selfish people and my mother was an alcoholic since i was young and had never supported my upbringing, the only person i had to rely on my whole life was my dad.

I am coping with the enormous everyday anxiety of what to do and how to make money. I have tried making content videos, but ultimately it was not worth most peoples attention. I have also tried asking my college if there are any financial aide or alternatives i could try and they just shunned me off because i was failing in a few modules and said most people won’t support failing students. This was devastating because studying and working fill-time will only cause me more setbacks, or this is how i feel. This won’t stop me from trying every possible way of supporting myself and i will work everyday after school making content, reviews or even if it is necessary getting a full-time job and taking my studying slower.

I have never wanted a lot and being rich wasn’t one of them. I just want to be an engineer. I just want to be able to keep trying. Life can also sometimes be beautiful as long as you wait out the storm.  paypal.me/ReyRey0206

One rainy morning in Athi River, Machakos County, I was taking my son to school. As we drove past the muddy paths of the surrounding slums, he suddenly pointed out of the window and asked a simple but piercing question:

“Dad, why isn’t that child going to school like me? And why is he being rained on?” I didn’t have an answer.

Later that day, on my way back from school, I went looking for that child. I found him wandering through the slum, crying and calling for his mother. Eventually, I learned that she had left him sleeping in a makeshift shelter while she rushed out to look for a casual job—hoping to earn just enough to buy food for the day.

That moment changed my life forever.

From One Child to Many Lives Changed

From that day, I began intentionally seeking out children like him—children trapped by poverty, vulnerability, and circumstance, not lack of potential. I started with one child, then two, then more.

Over the years, despite limited personal resources, I have supported 10 vulnerable children in primary school and others through university. Today, some of them are employed, independent, and supporting others. Their lives—and futures—were transformed simply because someone answered the question my son asked that rainy morning.

The Growing Need—and My Strained Capacity

The slums around Athi River continue to expand. Every year, more children are forced out of school due to extreme poverty, food insecurity, unstable family structures, parents relying on irregular, poorly paid casual Labor among other reasons.

While my commitment has never wavered, my resources are now severely strained. Long-time well-wishers are giving less each year due to tough economic times in Kenya. Yet the number of children needing help keeps growing. Turning these children away is not an option—but I cannot do this alone anymore.

The Vision: Educating 30+ Vulnerable Children from 2026 Onwards

I am seeking to raise USD 77,570 to support 30+ vulnerable children beginning in 2026 and beyond. This funding will provide school fees (primary and secondary education and university), school uniforms and learning materials, daily meals and basic nutrition, basic healthcare and psychosocial support, and stable educational continuity, so children stay in school. This is not charity—it is investment in human potential.

Why Your Support Matters

Education does more than teach reading and writing. It breaks cycles of poverty, restores dignity, creates future leaders, workers, and parents who uplift their communities

I have seen this transformation firsthand—10 times already. With your support, I believe we can replicate this impact 30 more times.

A Personal Promise

Every dollar raised will be used transparently and responsibly for the children’s education and basic needs. These are real children, in real communities, whose lives can change forever because you chose to act.

That rainy-day question from my son still echoes in my heart. Today, I am asking you to help answer it. Let us touch Children who don’t lack intelligence or dreams—only opportunity.

Please join me in giving 30+ vulnerable children the chance to go to school, stay dry when it rains, eat when they are hungry, and dream without limits.

Thank you for believing in these children—and in the power of education. Your contribution directly funds education and basic survival needs—creating measurable, lasting impact. Your support can move a child from the mud into a classroom—and change a life forever.

Our kindness today can rewrite a child’s tomorrow—one school day at a time, so that when it rains again, let these children be in classrooms—not alone in the mud. You can make that possible.

Stand with us. Give a child a chance!
