Help Me Take Flight — Support My Pilot Journey & Home Flight

Hi everyone,

My name is Jennifer Ervin, and I'm starting an exciting new chapter in my life — training to become a licensed pilot! This has been a lifelong dream of mine, and I'm finally taking the leap to pursue flight school and all the challenges (and thrills) that come with it.

As part of my journey, I'm also working on building a home flight simulator in my guest room. This simulator will not only allow me to practice regularly but also help lower the cost of training by giving me extra “in-air” time at home — something every pilot-in-training can appreciate!

I'm reaching out to friends, family, and fellow aviation enthusiasts to ask for support in making this dream a reality. Your contributions will go directly toward:

✈️ Flight School Tuition & Training Fees

️ Flight Simulator Components (Yoke, Rudder Pedals, Panels, Monitors, etc.)

Study Materials, Charts, and FAA Exams

Converting My Guest Room into a Training-Ready Flight Sim Space

Why This Means So Much to Me

Flying represents more than just a career goal — it's a calling. After years of putting it off due to life, responsibilities, and finances, I'm finally ready to commit to it fully. I've saved what I can, but flight school and simulator equipment are expensive, and I’m trying to balance it all without going into major debt.

If you've ever chased a dream that seemed just out of reach, then you understand how much this opportunity means to me. I truly believe that with the right tools and support, I can take this dream all the way — from the simulator to the skies.

How You Can Help

Any amount — big or small — helps tremendously. Even a share with your network goes a long way. For those who donate, I’d love to keep you updated on my progress, share photos of the simulator build, and take you with me (virtually!) through flight school.

Thank you so much for your support, encouragement, and belief in my journey.

With gratitude,

Jenn
