Talented young blind man wanting to get to space camp. Needing your help..

$621 donated
Given by 16 generous donors in around 12 months

My dream is to inspire people with my music and to visit space camp to show others you can do anything you set your mind to.

Hawke's Bay

Hi my name is Jess. I am 19 years old and I was born blind. Growing up my father noticed my passion for music. I soon saved up and brought me my very first piano and have weekly piano lessons with my music teacher Mrs Bradley. My piano teacher wasn't expecting much from me but I practised everyday and most times without help from others. I really loved being able to create sound, and a tune that i was making myself!

I often busk on the streets of Napier which I enjoy as I am able to share my love of music with others. I also play for my school friends and at age care facilities. My love of music has enabled me to give back to the community while doing something I enjoy.

I am asking for your help as I have been saving over the last few years to forfull my dream of going to America to Nasa and experience my other passion which is my love of space. In my spare time I like to listen to videos about space travels and the amazing things that happen in our solar system.

The money that I receive along with the money I have saved will enable me to forfull my dream of visiting Nasa and hopefully I will be able to see a space launch. While I am in America I would like to visit other blind organisations and play for children like myself. Being born blind has not stopped me

from achieving and I would like to share my love for music with others.

Thankyou for taking the time to read this a dollar$$ goes along way, or sharing my page will help

spread the word. Have a nice day Jess .

Glen Hutchinson's involvement (page creator)

I am the Father of Jess Hutchinson, unfortunately 19 years ago Jess was born blind but that hasn't stopped him to becoming an amazing, talented young man. As a father I have the luckiest job of giving him the best opportunities this life can give him. Jess has been interested in the bigger things in life for the last part of ten years and is wanting to follow his dreams.

Use of funds

We have already started saving from 4 years back for this very goal of Jesse's. Jesse's main goal is to broaden not only his horizon but others as well. Travel and share his music and happiness with others, share the word that you can literally do anything

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
