Hello Family, Friends, and Supporters,

My name is Tyrese , and I am a proud student at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University majoring in Aeronautical Science. I am honored to share that I have earned my Commercial Pilot License—a milestone that represents years of dedication, sacrifice, hard work, and unwavering support from my family, friends, and community.

As I prepare to enter my junior year, I continue to maintain a 4.0 GPA while pursuing my dream of becoming a professional airline pilot.

Although earning my Commercial Pilot License was a major accomplishment, my journey is far from over. The next phase of my aviation career requires me to build the flight hours necessary to qualify for airline opportunities and continue advancing my professional training. My goal is to obtain the required 1,000+ flight hours, along with additional instrument and advanced flight training that will move me closer to the commercial cockpit and ultimately position me to fly for a major airline.

As many people may not realize, accumulating flight hours is one of the most expensive parts of becoming a professional pilot. Aircraft rental, fuel, instructor fees, simulator training, advanced certifications, and instrument training can cost thousands of dollars. While I am committed to doing everything I can to reach my goals, I am humbly asking for a little help along the way.

Every donation, regardless of the amount, will go directly toward funding my flight hours and continued aviation training. Your support will help me remain on course toward my career goals while also easing some of the financial burden on my mother, who has been my biggest supporter and has sacrificed so much to help me pursue this dream from the very beginning.

I am proud to be pursuing a path that no one in my family has traveled before. Every hour I log in the air brings me one step closer to fulfilling a lifelong dream and one step closer to representing my family, community, and everyone who has believed in me.

If you are unable to donate, I completely understand. Your prayers, words of encouragement, and sharing this fundraiser with others are just as meaningful and appreciated.

Thank you for believing in me, supporting my journey, and helping me continue reaching new heights. Your generosity is not just helping me build flight hours—it is helping me build a future.

With sincere gratitude,

Tyrese H
