ADHD & Executive Functionally Challenged Students Can Get Help in School
I am involved in a non-profit foundation who's goals are to help struggling students achieve academic success. It started in Seattle, WA and is now available throughout the world. The organization is the Edge Foundation. They provide coaching services, either private or in-school coaching services and train people to become coaches. We are kicking off a Crowdrise campaign to raise money to students who are at-risk of dropping out due to adverse childhood experiences, trauma, ADHD or Executive Functioning type learning disabilities.
Edge is a really great organization, I would like to get as much help as possible raising funds. I would also like to be able to have people donate cryptocurrencies but I am not sure how to set that up through Crowdrise. Wondering if anyone has any experience with this?
Below is the link to the Crowdrise page. Please help if you are able.

THE STORY:
Children in low income families who may have been the victims of physical and emotional abuse, addiction and violence often have learning and attention challenges which puts them at risk for falling behind, failing and dropping out of school, particularly those who have been diagnosed with ADHD. While they are all brilliant in their own special ways, these students may lack the ability to plan, prioritize, focus, and follow through.
The Edge Foundation, through its cadre of specially trained Edge Coaches, helps students realize their potential and pursue their passion. Edge Coaching provides the tools that a young person needs to develop resilience, perseverance, and grit. Our proven techniques have helped hundreds of students overcome their learning challenges and succeed in school and in life.
We need your help to extend Edge coaching to as many students as possible whose families may not be able to afford coaching services. Each Learning Edge student will receive a $2,500 grant for Edge Coaching. Coaches work one-on- one with the student to help them develop the skills they need to succeed in school.
Some of our most successful entrepreneurs, political leaders, athletes and artists have ADHD. Your donation will help give these students the chance to be one too!
