Creating a Cozy College Haven: Supporting Our Young Adult’s GCU Journey 

August 29, 2024

At Friends of Ohana, we believe in the power of community and the importance of supporting our young adults as they embark on new and exciting chapters in their lives. Recently, we had the pleasure of sponsoring one of our bright young adults as she prepares to start her college journey at Grand Canyon University this fall.

Setting up a dorm room is a significant step in making the transition to college life, and we were thrilled to help her create a space that feels like home. Our sponsorship included shopping for essential items such as cozy bedding and stylish decor, allowing her to personalize her new environment. These touches of comfort are more than just material items— they are the foundation for a supportive, nurturing space where she can thrive academically and personally.

However, her journey isn’t complete just yet. As she prepares for the school year, there are still a few essential items she needs to make her apartment-style dorm fully functional. Items like pots and pans, a blender, cleaning supplies, and a trash can may seem small, but they are vital for daily life and self-sufficiency.

We invite our Ohana community to come together and support her journey. You can make a direct impact by purchasing specific items from her Amazon Wish List, helping to ensure she has everything she needs to succeed.Together, we can create a warm and welcoming home where she can focus on her studies and enjoy her college experience.

To contribute, simply visit our website and donate through DonorBox, or select items from the Amazon Wish List. Your generosity will make a world of difference in helping her settle into her new space.

Thank you for being a part of our Ohana and for supporting our young adults in meaningful ways.
