Addiction has touched my life in ways I will never forget. It’s the reason I’ve dedicated my education — and my heart — to helping others heal. 

 Hi, my name is Jessica Hall, and I’m a Master’s candidate in Clinical Psychology with a focus on addictions. I’ve seen how addiction can break families apart, but I’ve also seen the power of recovery, compassion, and second chances. That’s why my dream is to become an Addiction Specialist — so I can walk alongside people in their hardest moments and help them find hope again. 

 

Right now, I have the chance to enroll in an advanced Addiction Specialist Certification program, but FAFSA doesn’t cover it. Balancing grad school and living expenses means I can’t cover this cost alone — and that’s why I’m asking for your support. 

 

Where Your Gift Goes 

 • $3,500 — Tuition for the certification program

 • $500 — Required textbooks and professional resources

 • Anything extra — Free community workshops & pro bono sessions for people who can’t afford care 

 

Why This Matters 

 This certification will allow me to:

Provide advanced, evidence-based counseling to people struggling with addiction 

Offer free or low-cost care to underserved families

  Create workshops that spread hope and tools for healing in the community 

 Why Now 

 I plan to complete this certification while earning my Master’s, so I graduate with both credentials in the same semester. That means your support will:

 1. Accelerate the moment I can begin serving clients 

 2. Stretch every dollar invested 

 3. Launch me into my career with the highest level of clinical readiness  

Every single donation — even $10 — moves this dream closer to reality. And every act of support doesn’t just help me; it helps the countless lives I’ll be able to touch through counseling, mentorship, and community care. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in the power of healing and compassion. If you can’t donate today, please consider sharing this page to help spread the word.  

With love and gratitude, 

Jessica Hall
