I am a single mom doing everything I can to help my daughter, Lilly, attend the University of North Carolina School of the Arts as a high school senior. Lilly is a hardworking ballet dancer and student, and her dedication has paid off—she has a 4.4 weighted GPA and has been accepted into the arts program with a concentration in ballet. This is a huge accomplishment and a testament to her passion and perseverance.

Unfortunately, as a high school senior, Lilly does not qualify for federal aid until she becomes a college freshman next year. The funds raised through this campaign will go directly to her tuition and housing, ensuring she can take advantage of this incredible opportunity without financial barriers. Supporting Lilly now means helping her continue her journey toward becoming a professional ballet dancer and earning a Bachelor of Arts.

Lilly has always dreamed big, and this school is the next step toward making those dreams a reality. The possibilities ahead of her are endless, and every contribution—no matter the size—brings her closer to her goals. We are deeply grateful for any and all help, and we thank you for supporting Lilly’s dreams!
