By: Campaign Founder With an impressive $450 as of today, a young man living in Comayagua, Honduras is seeking support through his friends and family via a curated IndieGogo campaign. The crowdfunding campaign(igg.me/ “I met Eliseo through a family friend and heard about his goals and dreams. Since I'm a recent college graduate, I don't have the funds to support Eliseo, but I wanted to do something, hence why I started this campaign,” states the campaign's founder, Lillie Williams. She goes on to say that, "Every little bit helps. Eliseo won't receive the money raised if we don't reach our goal. With that being said, if we don't raise the amount of money that we need to send him to Drexel, every backer will get their money back.” Supporters of this unique campaign will receive special perks when they donate with the donation options ranging from $5 to $500 dollars. Backers can choose between a hand-written "thank you” letter, t-shirt, or even Graduation party invite for when Eliseo completes his semester of studies. To put it into perspective, if just 400 people contributed $22 dollars (less than a week's worth of lattes), the campaign will have reached its goal.
