Hardworking Single Mom to Attend her Graduation Ceremony
Donation protected
Hi everyone, my name is Kelly, and I am a long time friend of Amanda (we went to highschool together and have remained friends ever since!) Amanda has always been such a kind and loving person, despite going through the loss of her mom at a very young age. She has not had an easy road in life, but has always done her best to stay positive, trust in God, and spread hope and joy to others through her kind words and talent of singing!

She describes herself here: "I’m a single mom of a gorgeous baby boy, working on achieving success. I am graduating from grad school (for social work and counseling) and I really want to attend my commencement and graduation ceremony. I live in a different state than the university I’m attending. I go to school virtually, but my graduation is being held in person. I’m currently experiencing financial hardships to pay for the expenses of travel and accommodations in the state of my school. I would really appreciate all the help that I can get!"
Amanda will also need to complete an internship until August, and it has been very challenging for her to afford daycare expenses. The funds will also help assist with those expenses until she can secure a job after graduation.
As a friend of hers for nearly 20 years, I can say Amanda truly deserves this assistance and will give so much value back to the community around her in return. She has always been such a good friend and a caring person. Please do what you can to assist her with attending her Graduation in Tampa FL, as well as pay for daycare expenses that so far she has struggled to keep up with. With her lack of family support, she needs all the help she can get to push through this final chapter of school. She has come so far on her own, and despite her hardships, she has always been such a shining light for others ! Let's help her shine even more brightly through our support!
Thank you so much !
