COMING EVENTS

There's always something going on with P.A.P.A.S.! Check out our upcoming events and see how you can get involved!

Someone believed in a student like me before I even started kindergarten. This person believed in education and was aware of its costs. Blessed, I have never had to come out of my pocket for college- not one cent. This is because someone had a passion for a student like me and put it into motion. They did what was necessary, and went all in. They gave their heart, soul, strength, and mind to not only God but their neighbor. I would be remissed if I did not push this forward.

I want to provide scholarships for three students out of my personal funds. I am blessed enough to be a blessing! Whether it is assistance with textbooks, supplies, or even bills; I want to be a distributor of love. I pray to accomplish this with simple hopes that they will go all in and love the same for their neighbor. I want to encourage someone to be that Good Samaritan and put another above themselves. God has lifted us all, let us continue to help each other. Your neighbor is ANYONE in need, and that is the one you love with all your heart, mind, and soul. The Scripture says, “when it goes well for the righteous the city rejoices, and when the wicked rule the people mourn” (Proverbs 29:2) Let us dry those eyes and start looking at who our neighbor is!
