🌟 **From Student Debt to Autism Advocacy** 🙌

Staring at that acceptance letter from a university with my mom anxiously waiting next to me. It was supposed to be the key to success, but it quickly turned into an anchor around my neck. I had 50,000 dollars of student debt and no job lined up—just dreams about helping others through psychology. Fast forward years later, working in a low-paying job as a paraeducator for special education classes while still paying off that mountain of loans. It's disheartening to see how far I've come yet feel stuck at the same time.

💔 **The Real Struggle**

I was once naive about student debt, thinking it was just part of growing up and getting an education. But as reality set in with my low-paying job, I realized this wasn’t just a rite of passage—it was suffocating potential to make real change for those who need it most: autistic children like the ones I work with every day.

I have hope though! Hope that one day soon, the weight on my shoulders won't be there and I can focus solely on helping these bright kids shine without limits or boundaries set by their circumstances—especially financial ones. That’s why today, I am asking you to help me lift this burden so we can all rise together towards a brighter future for every child out there who deserves our care regardless of their starting point in life!
