Hi, I’m Des. I’m currently working toward my degree in psychology with the hope of becoming a guidance counselor one day. My dream is to be someone students can trust and turn to, especially when life feels overwhelming. I want to be that person who listens, supports, and helps them find their path—because I know how much that can mean.

This fall, I’m just a little over $2,000 short for tuition, and I’ll need about the same in the spring. I’ve been working, saving, and applying for all the help I can find, but I’m still coming up short. Asking for help isn’t easy for me, but I’m determined to finish what I’ve started and keep moving toward this dream.

Anything you’re able to give—no matter the amount—would be so deeply appreciated. Every dollar will go directly toward my tuition so I can stay in school and keep working toward helping students the way I’ve always hoped to. If you can’t donate, sharing this page means just as much. Thank you for believing in me and my future.
