Hi everyone,

I don’t usually do things like this, but I’m at a point where I could really use some support.

My name is Timothy, and I’m currently working toward finishing my degree at UNC Charlotte. Over the past couple of years, my journey hasn’t been as straightforward as I hoped. I went through a difficult period that interrupted my time in school, and I had to step away to regroup and get back on track. I’m grateful to say that I’ve been readmitted and given the opportunity to continue pursuing my education.

Now, I’m in the final stretch of my degree—closer than ever to the finish line. But because of my previous enrollment status, I’m not eligible for financial aid at this time. That means I’m responsible for covering tuition and expenses out of pocket.

To stay on track and complete my program the way it was intended, I need to enroll starting this summer. Without financial assistance, I risk delaying graduation even further.

This is not easy for me to ask, but any support—no matter how small—would make a real difference in helping me reach this goal. If you’re not in a position to give, sharing this with others would mean just as much.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you’re able to offer. It truly means more than I can express.
