Hi, my name is Sarah, and I’m raising funds for my amazing niece as she prepares to attend San Francisco State University this fall. She’s a bright, talented, and beautiful young woman with a huge passion for filmmaking — her dream is to tell stories that inspire and connect people through the power of movies.

Unfortunately, her FAFSA financial aid was unexpectedly cut, leaving a $20,000 gap in what she needs to cover tuition, housing, and basic living expenses. Her family is in a tight financial spot right now, and without this help, she simply won’t be able to attend.

This isn’t just about school — it’s about giving a gifted young artist the chance to pursue her dream. She’s worked so hard, earned great grades, and poured her heart into her craft. To see all that effort halted because of finances would be heartbreaking.

Where the funds will go:

    •    Tuition & fees for San Francisco State University

    •    Housing & basic living expenses

    •    Film equipment and class materials she needs to succeed

Every single dollar brings her closer to walking onto that campus, starting her film program, and taking the first step toward a career she’s dreamed of for years.

If you can, please donate — any amount helps. And if you’re unable to give financially, sharing this page with your friends, family, and social media can make a huge difference.

Thank you for believing in her dream and helping her turn it into reality.

Let’s get her to SFSU and into the director’s chair where she belongs.
