<div>Thomas Shelton is a devoted student-athlete whose life has been shaped by perseverance, faith, and an unwavering commitment to excellence—both in the classroom and beyond it.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thomas comes from a family that has faced significant financial hardship, and despite their best efforts, they have reached a breaking point. Right now, Thomas is facing an urgent obstacle: without a tuition payment of $13,400 due within the next week, he will be unable to remain enrolled in college or travel with his team to compete at UCA Nationals with his team after hours of dedication to the season.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This is especially heartbreaking because Thomas has done everything right.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>He is a 4.0 student, deeply committed to his academics, and has a clear vision for his future—he wants to become a lawyer, using his education to serve others with integrity and purpose. He chose to attend Lipscomb University because it aligns with who he is: a young man dedicated to academic excellence, personal growth, and a strong relationship with God.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thomas is not only disciplined in his studies but also faithful in his walk with Christ. In the middle of uncertainty, he continues to pray, trust, and believe. Right now, he is praying for God to “split the sea” so he can take this next step—continue his education, remain with his team, and pursue the calling placed on his life.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This GoFundMe is an opportunity to be part of that miracle.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Every donation—large or small—will go directly toward helping Thomas remain enrolled, compete with his teammates at UCA Nationals, and continue chasing the future he has worked so hard to build. If you’re unable to give, please consider sharing and praying.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Let’s come together to help remove this financial barrier and allow Thomas Shelton to keep walking forward in faith, purpose, and promise.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Thank you for being part of his story.
