Alan is about to turn 18 and has been accepted to Virginia State to study business and entrepreneurship. He’s earned a tennis scholarship and received financial aid, but there’s still a $23,000 gap for his first year.

Alan’s path hasn’t been easy—he had to navigate the foster system due to family challenges. Despite that, he’s persevered, stayed focused, and worked hard to get where he is today. He’s tall, bright, and taught himself to read and spell as a child. He’s played many sports, loves tennis, and plays guitar. A compassionate, hardworking young man, he’s working three jobs to save what he can. Still, he needs help to avoid large debt at the start of his college journey. If you feel inspired, any contribution will help Alan focus on his bright future!
