Empower Chelly to Achieve Her College Degree Dream

Donation protected
I have the absolute pleasure - through a local nonprofit - of being a mentor to an incredible young woman.

Her name is Chelly (and she's given me permission to put this together).

She's:
  • a full-time, first-generation college student studying forensic psychology
  • a member of the National Guard
  • a sorority sister
  • a cat mom
  • a solo traveler
  • an incredible aunt
  • an unbelievably hard worker
  • and genuinely one of the most impressive young women I've ever met.

(Seriously - she's more on top of it in her early 20s than I am most days as a 30-something-year-old.)

Chelly is set to graduate with her Bachelor's Degree in December of this year (whoop whoop!!). But like most of us have at some point in our lives, she's struggling to make ends meet.

And we know what happens when finances are tight - other things are deprioritized and end up taking a back seat.

She's SO CLOSE to finishing her degree, and she's worked SO HARD to get here. I'm calling on the community to help support this amazing, budding psychologist in her final semester of undergrad.

Every single cent of this effort will help Chelly pay bills, buy groceries, put gas in her car, and take some of the burden off her shoulders so she can focus on finishing her degree strong.

And it's not just financial resources! If you know of any job or internship opportunities for people looking to get into forensic psychology, let me know and I'll be sure to pass it along to Chelly.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for being here, and for helping this wickedly smart, unbelievably resilient, absolutely stellar human being as she navigates this tough time.
