Cole is a second-semester freshman at LSU, majoring in Finance and Data Analytics. As his parents, we have always done our best to support his dreams, but this year we faced unexpected financial hardship that made it impossible to secure the funding he needs for his education. Despite our efforts, we have struggled to cover his college expenses, and now, without help, Cole may have to return home and put his education on hold. This is a heartbreaking possibility for our family, as we know how hard Cole has worked to get to this point and how much he wants to continue learning and growing at LSU.

All funds raised through this campaign will go directly toward Cole's housing, books, tuition, and meal plan. The situation has become urgent—his meal plan was stopped on January 16th due to nonpayment for both the fall and spring semesters. We want nothing more than to see Cole continue his studies and pursue the dreams that God has placed in his heart, but right now, we simply cannot provide the support he needs on our own.

As a mother, I would move mountains for my son — and right now, that means humbly asking for help. Your support would mean more to me than I can fully express because it gives my son the chance to continue pursuing his dreams without being held back by our current financial challenges. I don’t want circumstances outside of his control to interrupt the next chapter of his life, his growth into the man God created him to be, or his ability to become a strong, contributing pillar in his community. If you are able to give, your generosity would help make a way for him that I cannot provide on my own at this time — and our family would be deeply grateful for that kindness.
