My name is Nicholas, and I’m starting this fundraiser for myself as I fight to hold on to a dream I’ve had since I was a kid: becoming a Commercial Pilot. Right now, I’m facing some of the hardest circumstances of my life. I am currently homeless, I do not have a car, and for the past three years I have felt stuck in a painful cycle of hopelessness. Even with all of that, I have not given up on who I know I am meant to become. I am still holding on to the hope that I can attend ATP Flight School, build a real future, and finally move my life in a new direction.

These funds would help cover my tuition for ATP Flight School, especially because I have been unable to get a loan through Sallie Mae. Your support would also help with housing, transportation, and improving my overall living situation so I can focus on school and move forward with stability. Becoming a pilot would be life-changing for me, not just because it would give me a path to a stable career, but because it would also allow me to one day help young people who are struggling like I am. I’ve never asked for help like this before, but I’m choosing to be vulnerable because I truly need it. If you are able to give, share, or support this fundraiser in any way, thank you for helping me take a step toward hope, stability, and the future I have been fighting for.
