Help Johanna Palafox Continue Her Education

Hi, my name is Johanna Palafox and I’m a First-Generation Latina college student entering my third year of university where I’m proud to be starting the Social Work program.

Since I was young I’ve always known that I wanted to help people. It’s more than a career path for me; it’s my passion and purpose. I still remember the day I met with a clinical social worker for the first time. That moment changed me. For the first time I felt truly heard. I had someone in my corner. That experience inspired me to become that person for others, especially for those who feel invisible in times of crisis.

My dream is to become a hospital-based social worker supporting patients and families during some of their hardest moments. But as I continue my education the financial burden has become increasingly difficult to carry. This year FAFSA will only be able to support me with $3,000 which falls short of covering tuition and housing, and tuition books.

I’m reaching out with hope and gratitude asking for your help to continue my education. Your support whether through a donation or simply sharing my story would mean the world to me. Every contribution moves me closer to my dream of becoming the person who shows up when someone needs it most.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading sharing or supporting in any way. Your kindness means more than you know.
