I have spent the last seven years working hard to earn my master's degree in social work, all while managing serious health challenges. Balancing school, work, and my health has been incredibly difficult, but I never gave up on my dream. Now, I am finally graduating—on my birthday, no less!—and I want to celebrate this milestone with a party and a much-needed trip to recharge. 

This celebration and trip mean so much to me after years of dedication and sacrifice. Once I receive my licensure, I will be starting my career and won't have another chance to take time for myself for a long while. The funds raised will help cover the costs of travel, the graduation party, and some essentials I need at home while I wait for my license number. This includes help with food, housing, and other basic needs during this transition period. 

Your donation means a lot to me. Anything you can give will help, and I truly appreciate your support as I take this next step in my journey.
