Help Kassandra Graduate from Howard University

Hi, my name is Kassandra Fourte, and I’m a first-generation college student and a proud graduating senior at Howard University, majoring in Psychology with a minor in Spanish. I’m just one step away from earning my degree, but I need help to get there.

After years of perseverance through unimaginable personal loss, family hardship, and financial struggle, I’m on track to graduate—but a remaining balance of $2,750 is preventing me from receiving my diploma.

Throughout my time at Howard, I’ve experienced the death of multiple family members ( a trauma that no student should have to endure. I worked full time jobs during my entire time at Howard, on top of being a full time student. I have survived a car accident, and supported my siblings through mental health crises—all while navigating college without guidance or consistent support.

Despite everything, I returned from academic suspension, earned a place on the Dean’s List multiple times, and became a role model to my younger siblings, nieces, nephews, and cousins who now see college as a possibility through me.

Every dollar helps. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing this with someone who might. With your support, I can cross the stage, make my family proud, and open doors for generations to come.

Thank you so much for believing in me.

With love and gratitude,

Kassandra Fourte
