My name is Briana, and in just 7 days, I’m set to begin my Master of Social Work (MSW) program—a dream I never thought I’d be able to pursue. I’ve discovered a true passion for social service and want to deepen my knowledge and skills so I can make a real difference in my community. Unfortunately, I’m facing a big hurdle: I don’t have the funds for the down deposit on my tuition. My mom encouraged me to start this GoFundMe instead of giving up on my goal, and I’m reaching out for support so I don’t have to put my education on hold.

With your help, I’ll be able to enroll on time and start my studies while my motivation is high. This support would relieve a huge financial strain and allow me to focus on my coursework, rather than worrying about how to pay for school. I’m eager to learn, grow, and use my education to help those in need around me. Every bit of encouragement and support means the world to me as I take this big step forward.

Thank you in advance for any financial support you can provide. $5, $20, any bit would help. If you can’t help monetarily, sharing with someone you know or with social media would be greatly appreciated! It’s hard for me to ask this way but It helps knowing there are people out there cheering me on gives me hope and strength to keep moving forward. I never imagined I’d be going back to school, but with your help, I’m on my way!
