Hi everyone.

I'm a first-gen student for who getting to this point was not even a pipe dream for me! Having had to overcome a lot of generational challenges where basic education was not a right for those who came before me due to devastating events like civil wars, I learned to value my studies a lot.

Being the first in my family to reach this point has proven challenging as I've been funding everything myself thus far. I have one semester left in my master's program in human-computer interaction and would really appreciate any help- whether it's a like, repost, or donation. This would go towards tuition and cost of living. Balancing studies, work, and other life events has stacked up on me.

Your donation would not only help with logistics but also mental health by having room to breathe and focus on my studies and applying to jobs without worrying about basic needs and finish strong.

This was really vulnerable for me to do as I struggle with asking for help! So, thank you so much for reading and any help! Happy New Year❤️
