Topi is a third-year public relations major at American University who is facing an urgent crisis. Her family, who lives in Miami, Florida, has always struggled financially, but this semester the situation has become critical. Without immediate support, Topi is at risk of being removed from AU as soon as this Friday due to unpaid tuition. This pressure has taken a toll on her mental health, as she worries about losing the community and friendships she’s built over the past three years.

Topi is known for her kindness and the genuine effort she puts into getting to know new people. Even though she isn’t involved in formal campus activities, she’s the type of person who makes everyone feel welcome and supported. Staying at AU means everything to her, not just for her education, but for her sense of belonging and her future. If she’s forced to leave, it will not only disrupt her studies but also lead to more debt and uncertainty.

Your support will help Topi stay in school, relieve the overwhelming stress she’s facing, and allow her to focus on her education and future. Every contribution brings her one step closer to continuing her journey at AU and building the life she’s worked so hard for.
