Hi, my name is Melanie Mitchell, and I’m a senior pursuing my Bachelor of Science degree with plans to become a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). I’ve worked hard to make it to this final stretch—balancing school, work, and life—with the goal of helping others through behavioral therapy.

Thanks to the support of generous donors and a few scholarships, I’ve been able to cover a portion of my tuition. I’m extremely grateful for everyone who has poured into my journey. However, I still have a remaining balance of $2,500 that I need to pay in order to walk across the stage and receive my degree.

It’s short notice, and I wouldn’t be asking if I didn’t truly need help. Graduation has been something I’ve looked forward to not just for myself, but for everyone who’s supported me along the way. Without this final payment, I won’t be allowed to graduate.

I’m asking for any help you can give—whether it’s through a donation or simply sharing this with others. Every little bit brings me one step closer to starting my career as an RBT and continuing my mission to support others through mental and behavioral health services.

Thank you for believing in me.

With love and gratitude,

Melanie Mitchell
