Hi, my name is Bree. I’m 18 and a first-generation college student. This fall, I’ll be moving from Utah to attend Wesleyan College in Georgia, where I’ll be majoring in English with minors in Education and Math. My dream is to become a teacher — someone who makes students feel seen, safe, and inspired.

Due to personal circumstances, I’m currently living independently and supporting myself without financial help from family. I’ve applied for federal aid and scholarships, but without a cosigner or traditional support system, I’m still facing challenges covering essential costs like housing deposits, books, and basic living expenses. I’ve worked incredibly hard to get to this point, and I’m determined not to let these obstacles keep me from building the life — and classroom — I dream of.

If you’re able to donate or share this with others, you’d be helping me start college with stability and hope. Every bit of support brings me closer to my goal of becoming a teacher and making a difference for future students.
