Dora's Columbia Summer Program

Donation protected
Hi, 

My name is Dora Calva. I currently attend College of the Holy Cross as an Architectural Studies Major with a Visual Arts Minor. The Tiktok video is a recap of my 3rd-year at the college for my spring semester. 

I recently got accepted into Columbia GSAPP for the summer. I have been working over the past couple of months overnight as a taxi dispatcher. I saved enough money to buy a car not knowing I'd be accepted in May 2021. I have been making car payments every month which takes away from the goal I have to be able to attend the summer program. I also pay for rent which is $150. In addition to working as a taxi dispatcher, I have been working as a door dash driver. I recently got hired as an Amazon warehouse worker overnight so I will be working to save up for the program before it starts in July 2021. All I ask is that you share my story and hopefully inspires other students. I appreciate everyone's support. 

The program is $4,080. I have also accepted Venmo, and Cashapp, and Zelle which came to be about $1,421. I made a personal deposit of $200 and I used the money from other platforms to deduct the tuition. It is easier for me to have everything in one place which is why I created a GoFundMe instead. Thank you so much for everyone helping me out. I appreciate it so much. God Bless. 

Best,
Dora
