Over the past year and a half, both my education and my faith have grown here at Liberty University. I am studying Special Education with a concentration in Applied Disability Advocacy (ADA), and I have learned so much during this journey. I’ve also had the privilege of volunteering at an after-school urban tutoring facility, where I’ve been able to work with and grow alongside many amazing students.

I am now more than halfway through my degree and hope to become a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), creating individualized plans and working hands-on with students in special education.

This upcoming spring semester, I have been given an incredible opportunity to travel to Quito, Ecuador, from March 13–21. During this trip, I will gain valuable cross-cultural experience as I work in the field, earning 30 practicum hours. This experience will not only grow me as a future educator but also broaden my perspective as I learn how education is approached in a different culture.

I am writing to you to ask for your support in two ways:

1. Prayer – This is my most important request. Prayer is powerful and foundational. I ask that you would pray for safety, health, open hearts, and that God would use me in meaningful ways during this trip.

2. Financial Support – This trip does come with a cost of $3,500. While financial support is not expected, it would be a blessing if you feel led to contribute. Any amount is deeply appreciated.

Your prayers, encouragement, and support mean so much to me as I step into this exciting season. I am incredibly thankful for this opportunity to serve and grow, and I can’t wait to see what God does through it.
