Alright, few more hours, and I’m going to say it straight:
We’re close. But close doesn’t fund classrooms.

We’re pushing to unlock the full $10,000 match from Kitestring, and a few more gifts will get us there.

If you’ve already given, thank you. Truly.
If you haven’t, this is your time to shine!
Because what we’re funding isn’t extra. It’s essential.

Let’s finish this the way this community always does, strong.
