Help Make Aubree's Senior Year Great!

Dear friends, family, and kind-hearted strangers,

I’m reaching out to you today with a request for my niece, Aubree, who is entering her final year at Lane Tech High School in Chicago.

Aubree is a bright, talented, and creative 17-year-old with dreams as vast as her imagination. She is not only an excellent student but also a passionate artist and a budding musician.

She works SO HARD y'all!

Her final year of high school is a pivotal moment in her life, and we want to ensure she has the support she needs to thrive during this important time.

As some of you may know, my sister Mandy, Aubree’s mother, is a devoted single parent who works tirelessly to provide for her family.

She also works SO HARD y'all!

Despite her relentless efforts, the financial strain caused by inflation and the rising cost of living has made it increasingly difficult to cover the essential expenses for Aubree’s education and extracurricular activities.

We want to make sure that this year is not overshadowed by financial stress but is instead filled with opportunities for growth, learning, and joy.

Aubree has a deep passion for music and art, and she has been taking lessons to develop her skills. However, the costs of music lessons, art supplies, textbooks, and school fees can add up quickly. We believe that with a little help from our community, we can ease this burden and allow Aubree to focus on what she does best—expressing herself through her art and music while excelling in her studies.

The funds raised through this campaign will help cover:

1. School Fees and Textbooks: Essential materials for her coursework and any extracurricular programs she participates in.

2. Music Lessons: Aubree has shown great promise as a musician, and we want her to continue her lessons to explore her talent further.

3. Art Supplies: As an aspiring artist, having the right tools is crucial for Aubree to develop her skills and express her creativity.

4. Transportation: Getting Aubree to and from places as well as long commute to visit family and go to work has taken a tole on our vehicle. Some funds will be used to repair our car and keep us moving!

5. Additional Expenses: Including school-related activities, senior year events, and other unforeseen costs that may arise during this crucial year.

Every dollar counts, and your support, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in Aubree and Mandy's lives. With your help, we hope to provide them with the resources they need to excel and create lasting memories in her senior year.

Aubree has so much potential, and we believe that with the right support, she can achieve her dreams. We want her to look back on her senior year with joy and pride, knowing she had the encouragement of a loving community behind her.

Thank you for taking the time to read our story. Your generosity and kindness will not only help Aubree but will also send her a powerful message—that she is supported and loved.

Please share this campaign with your networks, and let’s rally together to make Aubree’s senior year the best it can be!

With gratitude,

Howl (Craig Stephens)
