Hello, my name is Joseph Stastny, and I am raising funds to support my education. Growing up with Tourette’s syndrome presented many challenges—social, emotional, and academic. There were times when I struggled to fit in or to be understood, but these obstacles only strengthened my determination to succeed. Through hard work and perseverance, I have achieved a 3.62 GPA and was honored to be inducted into the Honors Society. This recognition reflects not only my academic effort but also my resilience in the face of adversity. As I continue my education, I am committed to turning my challenges into opportunities to help others. Every contribution you make will help cover tuition, books, and other educational expenses, allowing me to stay focused on my studies and my mission of creating positive change.
