My name is Jess, and I am currently a graduate student in the film program at USC. Being accepted into this program was a dream come true, and it has opened doors for me that I never thought possible. As an immigrant, my ability to stay in the United States is directly tied to my enrollment at USC, making this opportunity even more meaningful and urgent for me.

Unfortunately, I am facing financial challenges that threaten my ability to continue my studies. The costs of tuition and living expenses have become overwhelming, and without additional support, I may not be able to stay enrolled for the upcoming semester. This not only puts my education at risk, but also my future in the film industry and my life here in the city where I have built strong connections and friendships.

I am reaching out for help because I truly believe that with one more semester, I can secure a job in the film industry that will launch my career and allow me to remain in the place I now call home. Your support would mean the world to me and would help me take the final steps toward achieving my dreams. Thank you so much for considering a donation and for being part of my journey.
