Hi, I am Kalei Patterson, and I just graduated high school! I have worked so hard to get where I am today; it's been really hard. Things have been so tough on me as I got put into the foster system when I was in elementary school and was adopted in high school. Despite this, I got into a private university! (Grand Canyon University)

Unfortunately, I need your guys' financial support. FAFSA, financial aid, and my scholarships are only covering so much; it is completely overwhelming for me as I have just started as an adult.

I am hoping to raise $10,000 to go towards my first year of college. I will be studying to become a secondary educator for English. Thank you so much, and I hope I meet my goal!
