Thank you so much for donating to the Student Emergency Fund! We could not provide the services that we do without all of you.
As you may know, today is Giving Tuesday. It's a day after the spending holiday to give back to the community. We ask that on this day you share this HornRaiser campaign with your networks and encourage giving to the Student Emergency Fund.
Thank you to all who have donated since our last update!

Please continue to share our HornRaiser campaign with those you know. Thank you for all you do to support those students at The University of Texas at Austin in need.
Wow! We are so excited to have received $600 our first week! Thank you so much for your support. It means so much to us and the students who are supported by the Student Emergency Fund. We encourage you to share across your social media platforms. We need your support to meet our goal.
Here is a testimonial about what our Student Emergency Fund means to those who receive it: "This organization really helped me when I needed it most; I was able to eat because of this fund! I will always be grateful with a spot in my heart for this place that cares about students' wellbeing and success. Thank you!"
Thank you donors who contributed this week!

Would cover the cost of groceries for one student facing an emergency, for many students affected by Harvey groceries upon arrival to Austin will be a welcome sight.
The cost of five counseling sessions with the Counseling and Mental Health Center for a student who can't afford the copay. As Harvey has affected many UT students Counseling and Mental Heath Services has extended hours for the many students needing services.
Lost or stolen prescription replacement for five students who may have forgotten, left, or had prescriptions destroyed in the flooding.
Five nights of shelter for a student who can't go home. Many of our students may face this concern, as 1/3 of the University of Texas at Austins student body comes from areas impacted by Harvey.
Replaces textbook supplies for two students that may have been left or destroyed in the flood waters.
Could cover emergency or urgent medical care for up to 10 students.
Provides for every service listed above, and more, including covering the costs of new locks and safety features for 10 students after harassment or violence.
