THAAAAAANK YOU for helping Kym Whitley love on these scholars!

As a "Wiseguy," your contribution will help us support 39 scholars at Paul Quinn College(Dallas, TX), Prairie View A&M University (Houston, TX), Kym's Alma Mater - Fisk (Nashville, TN)

Fisk (Nashville) August 4-6, 2023

Paul Quinn (Dallas) August 10-13, 2023

Prairie View (Houston) August 16-19, 2023

Our scholars are primarily foster care students who have aged out of the system, are homeless or need family/financial support. 

70% of foster care scholars dream of college; however only 3% see their dreams realized. Food, housing, and clothing insecurities sometimes derail them, but when their basic needs are met, their odds of graduation increase exponentially. 

Enter The  Move-In Day Mafia.

In many cases, this will be the first time that our students get to choose what goes in their living space. We are so committed to letting them know that they matter that all of our dorm rooms are designed by celebrity interior designer, Nikki Klugh of Nikki Klugh Design Group.

There are no hand-me-downs. Each student receives a fully decorated dorm room including:

✅ Bedding

✅ Towels

✅ TV

✅ Microwave

✅ Refrigerator

✅ Wall Art

✅ Hangars

✅ Snacks

✅ Toiletries

✅ Clothing Steamer

✅ Cleaning Products

✅ Bathroom decor (if needed)

✅ Care packages throughout  the year

✅ Special touches that are unique to their hobbies. For example, when we learned that a student loved record players, he entered his room and found a brand new player and albums. The look on his face was priceless.

Therefore, future "Wiseguy," on behalf of my fellow Mafiosos, thank you for joining the movement.
