I've heard of this organization before, but wasn't familiar with they're work. Thanks for sharing. I'm excited to contribute. It was also cool to see you on the video.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity to literally put our money where our mouths are. I haven't known what to say over the last week, but I have been so fired up about it. I really appreciate the ability to be able to create some tangible good out of this situation in a way that doesn't distract from the issues that have come to light in this community, and you for not only fighting such an important fight, but also providing such a balm to the soul. Thank you for everything that you have done.
@kirkette I wish I had my own words to express my thoughts, but rvan0905 said exactly what I feel.
I made a gift today. Thank you for sharing @kirkette!
For everyone that is thinking about it, remember that you don't have to be rich to be a philanthropist. Just think, if every user on GBCN gave $5, that would be a total of $75,000 for jkl! (I checked out the users page and it said we have 308 pages of 50 users so approximately 15,000 users). Think of the amazing combined impact - enough to start up in two entirely new locations, for example.
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”

Thank you for this post. I'm happy to add this to our list of organizations for the year. I can't wait to hear how the Young Philanthropists have done.
@kirkette, thank you for the positive energy and information about jkl! Adding my donation shortly.
You are an inspiration and I hope your brother is safe and doing ok - how horrific for him and your family. Like others, I have felt angry and frustrated at what has unfolded...thank you for the opportunity to take an action that generates goodness, not negativity.
The informational videos are great, particularly the first one with the voices of the kids involved. The #1 request being for "more days" means the program is clearly doing something right....love it.
jkl has done so much for two schools which are local to me, one of which I'm very familiar with. I'm sincerely happy to see such an amazing outpouring of support for a cause which yields so much good in our; in everyone's community.
Thank you truly @kirkette, you are gracious and immensely kind.

@kirkette, when I made my donation last night instead of sending me a confirmation email or message, it just said that someone would contact me. Is that normal or did the site hiccup and I should just try again?

I got the same thing and have been wondering this so thanks for asking. Still haven't gotten an email confirmation and it's been a few days.
