      Hi Shaina, I just got the following email from kickstarter. it appears it was a mistake! Yea!

      This weekend a system error caused some confusing emails to be sent to a handful of people, including you. The message (beginning with a subject line of "[STG]") mistakenly said that a project you were backing had ended unsuccessfully when, in fact, it had actually succeeded. We apologize for the confusion, and wanted to assure you that this was a simple system goof. Sorry!

      Hi Folks, went through my email and saw a kickstarter notification as well that the project was being cancelled. I have a hunch that this is because certain credit cards didn't go through. This hasn't been confirmed. and I sent in a request for clarification

I did a small scale research project with the Weed Fellowship that framed the way i thought about education last summer. I interviewed students who lived below the poverty line and made it to college. They were creative, resilient, and powerful. JeepNeed is an attempt at embodying all the factors that helped these students succeed.

My project partner Erika Pineda is a wonderful woman. I don't know where this project would be without her.
