From Atlanta to LSU: Help Carmen Make It Happen

Donation protected
Help Carmen Attend Her Dream School – LSU!

Hi, my name is Carmen, and I’m reaching out with a heart full of hope and a dream I’ve worked hard to achieve.

I’m an incoming freshman at Louisiana State University (LSU), majoring in Criminal Justice on a Pre-Law track. Since I was young, I’ve been passionate about justice, helping others, and creating real change in my community. Becoming a lawyer is more than a career goal it’s my calling.

LSU has always been my dream school. From its incredible academic programs to its strong community spirit, LSU felt like home the moment I stepped on campus. I’ve worked so hard to earn my acceptance, and I am so proud to say I’ve made it this far.

But now, I face a challenge I can’t overcome on my own.

I currently live in Atlanta, Georgia, and while my family has supported me every step of the way, we are struggling financially right now. Despite applying for scholarships, grants, and financial aid, we still can’t cover the full cost of tuition, housing, and essential expenses.

My parents have always worked hard, but the rising cost of living and unexpected setbacks have made this dream feel like it’s slipping through our fingers. I don’t want finances to be the reason I give up on everything I’ve worked so hard for.

That’s why I’m humbly asking for your support.

Every donation — no matter how small — will go directly toward covering:

Tuition & school fees
Books and supplies
Housing and living expenses
Travel and move-in costs
Your kindness would not just help me attend college — it would give me the chance to build a better future. I promise to make the most of this opportunity, stay focused, and one day give back to students just like me.

Even if you can’t donate, sharing my story would mean the world.

Thank you so much for reading and supporting me. With your help, I can walk onto LSU’s campus this fall not just as a student, but as someone whose dream came true because of a village that believed in her.

Geaux Tigers and God bless!
— Carmen
