"When I heard about LeadAmerica I was really excited, until I saw the prices. I had no hope of going until I logged on to my page and found out that I could host a fundraising campaign. This definitely brought my hopes up. I created a fundraising webpage and an event on Facebook, and invited everyone I knew to help me achieve my goal. After three weeks of promoting, I was able to raise $1,999 dollars!! I thank my family for everything and those close friends that also helped me out." – J. Sepulveda, future alum of NLS at Stanford
