I live in a community based heavily upon our local hospital and medical center, the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center in the sweetest place on Earth, Hershey, Pennsylvania! The Milton S. Hershey Medical Center has one of the best Cancer hospitals in the country, and the pediatric Cancer program has a supporting program to assist children suffering through cancer and their families. By making and donating blankets to the young children with cancer, I am able to provide these children with comfort, security, and love in a time when they need those things the most.

I am trying to supply the impoverished communities in Jamaica with bicycles. There is so much poverty in Jamaica that people typically pay fares to use public bicycles or walk to get to their destinations. In America we take a lot for granted, when it comes to transportation. I want to "pay it forward" and make transportation one less stress that Jamaican people will have to live with.

The communities that I am helping include Cleveland Ohio and surrounding communities. The project also includes religion communities, youth groups, schools, and sport teams. Many times, people don't realize how cold and lonely a hospital can be, until they are faced with a life threatening situation. I wanted to provide those suffering through life threatening illness with a little comfort. I also wanted to teach others the importance of helping those around them that might be less fortunate then themselves.

In low-income communities the immediacy of day to day needs often overshadows thoughts of planning ahead and saving for the future. This project addresses the importance of teaching middle and high school students in Apopka, Florida how to manage money and save for their futures. About one third of Apopka High students are eligible for free or reduced price lunches and one quarter are non-native speakers of English. Many students are unfamiliar with financial institutions and the concept of saving money.
