Turning $5 into $5k to Change 5 Lives

$365 of $5,250 goal
Given by 21 generous donors in 18 days

Bella is starting with just $5 and wants to raise $5k to pay for dyslexia assessments for five kids whose families cannot afford them.

Hi, I am Bella and this Givealittle page is for people who like my $5 to $5K Challenge and want to add to the money I am raising myself, so I can reach, or even pass, my $5,000 goal faster.

My challenge is to turn $5 into $5,000 so I can pay for five dyslexia assessments for kids who really need them.

I am dyslexic and I know how hard it is when people do not understand your brain. My diagnosis helped my family finally see what was going on and it changed everything for me. But some families cannot afford an assessment, so kids can sit in class thinking they are dumb when their brain just works in a different way. I want to help change that.

I am using my first $5 to try small money making ideas, then I take the profit and grow it again. I will sell drinks and treats, walk dogs, help with jobs, and share my progress on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@JustBellaM

All funds from this page will be paid directly to SPELD, to be used for dyslexia assessments for children who could not otherwise afford them, plus any bank or platform fees. As each assessment is funded we will share how many children have been helped, while always protecting each child’s privacy.

Your donation is not just money, it is a message to a child that they are worth investing in. If you cannot donate, you can still help by sharing my page or videos.

Thank you for helping me turn $5 into $5K and change the story for five amazing kids.
