Hello! My name is Abby Gottesman, and I am reaching out for your support in helping me pursue my dream of becoming a speech-language pathologist. In May 2024, I graduated from George Washington University with a Bachelor’s degree in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences. Since graduation, I've been working as a Speech-Language Pathology Assistant (SLPA) at a pediatric speech and occupational therapy clinic in Herndon, Virginia, where I’ve gained invaluable hands-on experience working with children and supporting their growth in communication.

Now, I’ve been accepted into Ohio State University’s highly respected Speech-Language Pathology Master’s Program, which is a two-year, intensive program that will help me further develop my skills and knowledge in this field. This program is my dream opportunity to advance my career and become fully equipped to make a lasting difference in the lives of individuals who face communication challenges.

However, the cost of tuition, along with other expenses associated with graduate school, is a financial challenge. That’s where I’m hoping you can help. Your generous donation will go directly toward my tuition and fees, helping to reduce the financial burden so that I can focus on my studies and training.

Any amount you can contribute will be deeply appreciated, and if you’re unable to donate, simply sharing this page with others will make a huge difference. I am incredibly grateful for your support and belief in my future as a speech-language pathologist.

Thank you so much for helping me take this next step toward my goal of serving others and making a meaningful impact in the field of speech and language pathology. I couldn’t do it without you!
