Hello, my name is Ana and I am an early childhood educator. I love my being a teacher and it’s important to me to complete my education to be the best teacher I can be. I am raising funds to finish my bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education at Southwest Minnesota State University.

I am halfway done with my degree, but I still must complete two more years. I have worked hard to earn enough to pay for the first year, however, I need help raising funds for tuition my final year. All money raised will be used to pay for tuition.

I am an international student from Brazil and there are not many scholarships available for us. We also can’t take student loans or work outside of college. I need to be a full time student and can only work 20 hours per week at SMSU. My family helps me as much as they can, but it is not enough.

Please help me achieve my dream and finish my education to be the best teacher I can be.
