Biography
18 year old student at University of South Carolina, Nation Honors Society Member, finished 10th in my class, peer counselor, honest and reliable
My Purpose
I joined microgiving to raise money to send a new friend of mine on a homeland visit to Romania. She and her brother were adopted and now lives in the US, but she wishes greatly to return and see her country of origin. While her adoptive parents have taken the two on various other local trips and greatly wish to take them to to Eastern Europe, finding the means to fund such a trip has been difficult. In fact, this student will be transferring following the end of her first semester here due to the cost of the university. She works multiple days during the week to help pay for her education and is very considerate of her current financial status; she understands that she must transfer because it is a cost-efficient decision for her family. I feel the two of them, along with all adopted children, deserve to visit their homeland before they reach an age where the magic of returning may have less of an effect. If the limited space offered by ISV fills up, I will be using the donations to help offset the costs of a trip for my friend and her brother to make on their own. I appreciate any assistance donors can offer, and promise to donate excess funds to other members in need.

My name is Jason Cane and I am a student at the University of South Carolina. I recently became friends with a student who, along with her brother, had been adopted and has not had the opportunity to return to her home country of Romania. While her adoptive parents have taken the two on various other local trips and greatly wish to take them to to Eastern Europe, finding the means to fund such a trip has been difficult.
