Donate to Basement2Building Fund: Empowering Chicago's Children, organized by Christian Home Educators Support System

A personal message from the founder: Please donate to our Basement2Building Fund! Dear Friends and Supporters, We need your help expanding our school into a larger space to serve more of Chicago's children and families! We're looking for a permanent home for CHESS! We're looking to purchase a property (under $250,000) with cash. Owning our building outright will eliminate debt, allowing us to serve families and grow our mission without financial constraints. We've already raised a little over $20,000. We're now reaching out to our community to help us bridge the gap to reach our goal and secure a permanent home for CHESS. Christian Home Educators Support System (CHESS) provides a "3-in-1 learning center" - the K-Community - where homeschool families and students from our in-person and online microschool school, KGCA, come together to create a fun and inspiring learning experience. My husband, Ronald, and I have been homeschooling for 18 years. We have four children: two homeschooled graduates, one college graduate, and one entering a trade program. Since 2007, our K-12 microschool and parent-led homeschool co-op have been blessed to train, educate, and equip students from Louisiana, Illinois, Indiana, and Florida to achieve great success, graduate high school, and access opportunities to help them reach their full potential. Our community serves 18 families (42 children). Of these, 23 children are in our basement utilizing the A. C. E. (Accelerated Christian Education) program, a self-paced, Bible-based curriculum that adapts to individual learning abilities. We also offer co-op enrichment classes on Wednesdays in Financial Literacy, Black History, Public Speaking, Civics, Music, Latin, urban gardening, and SMARTE (Science, Math, Arts, Robotics, Technology, and Engineering). We desire to serve many more families and provide additional learning spaces, such as a library and media center, a pre-K/Kindergarten room, a science lab, a music room, and an expanded outdoor area. A new building with at least 2,500 square feet will allow us to accommodate at least 50 students, serve the growing population of homeschooled families, and add additional learning rooms. By expanding, we can enhance the educational environment and continue to instill a Biblical worldview and academic excellence in the next generation. How You Can Help: Your donation, no matter the size, will bring us one step closer to this dream. Every dollar you contribute will go directly towards purchasing a property, allowing us to expand educational freedom and giving parents across Chicago and surrounding areas a better alternative to public education. Owning our property will allow us to serve and help our community without the financial burden of loan payments, allowing us to reinvest in our mission. Check out our school and co-op in action!

Why GoFundMe Articles and URLs Appear on Our Website and How We Support Other GoFundMe Campaigns

At LFEBridge Foundation, we are dedicated to creating a platform where individuals and organizations can maximize their fundraising efforts. As part of our commitment to supporting a wide range of causes, we incorporate articles and URLs from GoFundMe into our website. Here’s why you might see GoFundMe content on our site, how it benefits the fundraising community, and our relationship with GoFundMe:

1. Amplifying Reach for Fundraising Campaigns

Increased Visibility: By featuring GoFundMe articles and URLs on our platform, we help increase the visibility of various fundraising campaigns. This additional exposure can attract more donors and supporters, helping campaigns achieve their goals more quickly.
Cross-Promotional Opportunities: Highlighting campaigns from GoFundMe allows us to support a broader spectrum of causes and connect with a wider audience. This cross-promotion benefits both the campaign organizers and potential donors looking for causes to support.

2. Supporting Campaign Growth

Advertising and Promotion: We understand the importance of visibility in successful fundraising. By showcasing GoFundMe campaigns, we provide an advertising platform that helps these campaigns reach potential donors who might not have discovered them otherwise.
Strategic Partnerships: Collaborating with GoFundMe and featuring their campaigns on our site strengthens the fundraising ecosystem, ensuring that worthwhile causes receive the attention and support they deserve.

3. Expanding Donor Networks

Broader Donor Base: Featuring a variety of campaigns from different platforms helps diversify and expand the donor base. This means more people can learn about and contribute to a variety of causes, ultimately driving higher engagement and donations.
Enhanced Outreach: By integrating GoFundMe content, we help campaigns tap into new networks and communities, broadening their reach and potential impact.

How We Help Other GoFundMe Campaigns Grow
