"It May Take a Village to Raise This Child"

Since age 2, Taj ("TJ") Hughes has known how to operate a computer.  Now,  at age 15, this straight-A student's goal is to become a Game Developer and/or a 3D Animator. To help him achieve this dream, his mom, dad and especially his maternal grandmother have been doing everything in their power to help supplement a partial scholarship awarded by Crossroads College Preparatory School, one of our state's finest instituions for gifted youth. Our family currently live in a district where the schools are unaccredited, we can’t afford to send him there either.

 We are now asking the community’s assistance in securing his future. If you wish to help, please donate $5, or whatever you can  toward the cost of  books and tuition through Paypal, or by sending a check directly to the attention of  TJ Hughes’ 10th-grade tuition, Crossroads College Preparatory, 500 De Baliviere Avenue, St. Louis, MO  63112. Our goal is $8,000.

This website will list an update on  his progress and his quarterly grades.
The art community is also being asked to donate works of art that will be sold at a fund raiser to be held this fall at GYA Community Arts and Fine Crafts, 2700 Locust, St. Louis MO  63137.
Monies raised at this function will assist Tj and other promising students who are attending progressive, private schools.
 Thank  you for securing their future.
