I love your zest and dedication to young people! Just sent some $$ to the cause. But you don’t need to do anything in return! It is enough that you are working so hard to make the world a better place. Cannot thank you enough.

Happy, happy birthday! As someone who was able to afford attending one of these forums back in the day (Presidential Classroom), I know how life changing it can be. I’ve also come to realize now how very privileged I was. So I’m thrilled to be able to belatedly pay it forward. I only wish I could do more. I am forever grateful for you Charlotte!

Happy birthday, Charlotte! Participating in "Close Up" through the financial help of others changed my life. Seminars at American University made me want to go there and study international relations and economics. Happy to donate and pay it forward.

I remember having to fundraise for trips in MS and HS, for the same reasons -- we had the necessities covered, but there wasn’t much extra. I know from experience how life-changing these programs can be; and I’m grateful for the opportunity to pay it forward. 🩵

Happy Happy Birthday, Charlotte! Donation completed! I do have a request, though. You write so beautifully and you work so hard to provide a positive, supportive model. Please, please...no more “wanna”. Write with the same dedication to excellence that you demonstrate so beautifully elsewhere. 💖
