Our daughter, Aiyanna, is attending SUNY to become a Spanish teacher. We are from a rural upstate NY farm community. Aiyanna has been accepted to study this spring (2026) in Spain. This total immersion will help build her Spanish confidence and provide real-life experiences to engage her future students. A future teacher's salary is not huge; therefore, we are reaching out to ask for help covering the funding gap before Aiyanna increases her educational burden (i.e., student loans). We are thankful to everyone who helps. If you can't help financially, we ask for words of encouragement for Aiyanna as she prepares for the next steps of her journey.
