Haben's LB Gives Page: Jobs & Hope

Hi Everyone! 

I’m fundraising for Merge Opportunities because every young adult deserves the chance to thrive—no matter the challenges they’ve faced. Merge works with system-impacted individuals, transitioning foster youth, and survivors of domestic violence, housing instability, and incarceration—helping them build lasting careers and brighter futures.

This fall, Merge will launch an 8-week Transform a Life program for 20 motivated young adults, providing job readiness workshops, technical training, safe transportation, and lifetime career coaching.

Your gift will make a direct, life-changing impact: 

• $25 → Provide workbooks, safety gear, or starter toolkits 
• $50 → Cover safe rides to interviews or first day at work 
• $100 → Fund one workshop to build skills & confidence 
• $250 → Provide a month of one-on-one career coaching 
• $500 → Fund rides for five to work, training, or interviews 
• $1,900 → Sponsor one young adult’s full career journey
• 2,500 → Cover all tools and trainer costs for an apprenticeship cohort
• $5,000 → Support workshops & coaching for 10 young adults
• $10,000 → Transform Futures – Sponsor 5 career starts

I’ve set a goal to raise $2,000 for this program. Every dollar counts. Together, we can break cycles of poverty, create opportunity, and prove that talent thrives when given a fair chance.
