Hello, I'm a second-year mechanical engineering student at the University of Oklahoma, working tirelessly to stay enrolled and pursue the future I've dreamed of for years.

In high school, I was an honor student, earning straight A’s while balancing academics and part-time work. That same determination has carried me through college, where I work nearly every day to cover tuition and basic living expenses.

Recently, a new law in Oklahoma has blocked undocumented students from receiving in-state tuition. Because of this, I’m now being charged out-of-state tuition, nearly triple what I paid last year. This sudden change has left me overwhelmed and uncertain about whether I can continue. But I haven’t given up. I believe in the power of education and the future I’m building.

I’m asking for help to stay enrolled this semester. Every donation, no matter the amount, helps me cover tuition and keep moving forward. Your support means more than financial relief; it’s a vote of confidence in my journey, my resilience, and the future I’m fighting for.

Thank you for standing with me.
