“Wonderful”: Jason Vanporppal Reaches Target Donation After 2 Anonymous Donors’ Generosity, SA Wowed

• Jayson Vanporppal, who skated three months from Uganda to South Africa to raise funds for a skatepark, received two anonymous R25,000 donations to his GoFundMe
• The donation brought his campaign close to its R50,000 goal after he was scammed and nearly lost hope
• Supporters across South Africa praised the anonymous donor and rallied behind Jayson's mission

Jayson Vanporppal, the young American skateboarder who spent months skating from Uganda to South Africa to raise money for a skatepark in Kampala, broke down in a TikTok video after two anonymous donors contributed $1,500 each (around R25,000 each) to his GoFundMe campaign. The donations came at a low point as Jayson had recently been scammed of R25,000, and the loss had taken a toll on him. He admitted he had been "losing hope" and "feeling down" before the anonymous gift arrived and changed everything.

Anonymous individuals donate R25,000 each

The contribution pushed his campaign to $51,000 (R834, 773), R16,000 over his target, meaning he could now start planning to build a skatepark for local youth. TikTok user @jaayfilmsays on 1 July 2026, told his followers he would document every cent coming in and going out before transferring the funds to his contacts in Uganda, a promise of full financial transparency clearly aimed at rebuilding trust after the earlier scam. The anonymous donation arrived when he needed it most and visibly restored his faith in people.
