Hello friends and family,

I am writing this with a mix of vulnerability and hope. As many of you know, I have spent the last few years pouring my heart and soul into my academic journey. Reaching the finish line of graduation is a milestone I have dreamed of, representing years of hard work and dedication to my future career in public health.

However, life has recently thrown some significant challenges my way. To prioritize my well-being, I am currently on a necessary leave of absence for mental health reasons. While this time has been vital for my healing, being away from work has left me in a difficult financial position.

Right now, the costs associated with attending my graduation ceremony, from travel and lodging to the final academic fees, are simply out of reach. I am asking for your support to help me bridge this gap so I can celebrate this achievement in person.

Where the funds will go:

Any contribution, no matter the size, will make a world of difference. If you aren’t able to donate, simply sharing this link with your network would mean the world to me.

Thank you for being part of my village and for helping me turn this dream into a reality. I can’t wait to share photos of that diploma with you all!

With gratitude,

Treeneé
