<div>Hello, my name is De Andra, and I am a dedicated doctoral candidate in Business Psychology at The Chicago School. Over the past 4 years, I have passionately pursued this field, blending my love for understanding human behavior with a commitment to fostering better workplaces and organizational well-being in communities of faith, the corporate sector, and within government spaces.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I’m now in the final stages of my program, working diligently to complete my dissertation on rejection sensitivity and its impact on a leader's response to interpersonal conflict. <strong>This journey has been humbling and equally transformative, equipping me with the tools and knowledge to make a lasting impact in my field and one day, the world.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why I Need Your Support</strong>
</div>
<div>While I have made significant progress, I am facing a funding gap that threatens to stall my ability to complete my program. The costs associated with tuition, research, and final dissertation preparation is significant, but with your support, not insurmountable.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To cross the finish line, I am seeking to raise a total of $20,000 to cover final expenses. However, <strong><em>$5,000 is my first fundraising goal to be able to register in the upcoming semester. </em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How Your Contribution Will Be Used</strong>
</div>
<div>Your support will directly enable me to:
</div>
<ul>
<li>Cover tuition and fees: Remaining program costs to finalize my degree.
</li>
<li>Research expenses: Materials, software, editors, and other tools needed to complete my dissertation.
</li>
<li>Advance my mission: to create healthier, more productive organizations and leaders through evidence-based strategies.
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>What This Means to Me (and Others)</strong>
</div>
<div>Achieving this milestone isn’t just a personal dream—it’s a step toward making a meaningful contribution to the world. My research aims to address rejection sensitivity, interpersonal conflict, and overall leader development as a key component to organizational performance. I am confident that my current and future research will influence leaders and their organizations globally and across multiple sectors of industry.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<ul>
<li><em>Donate:</em> Any amount, no matter how small, brings me closer to my goal.
</li>
<li><em>Share: </em>Amplify my story by sharing this page with your network.
</li>
<li><em>Connect: </em>If you know of scholarships, grants, or funding opportunities, please let me know!
</li>
</ul>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A Heartfelt Thank You</strong>
</div>
<div>Your generosity and belief in my journey mean more than words can express. With your support, I can turn this dream into a reality and dedicate my career to making workplaces and organizations healthier, happier, safer, and more rewarding for everyone.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for being part of my story and for investing in a vision of positive change.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>De Andra
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>Updates and Transparency</em></strong>
</div>
<div>I promise to keep all donors updated on my progress through regular posts and milestones, sharing how your contributions are helping me achieve my goals. Together, we can make a lasting impact!
</div>
