Let’s Get Kari to Arizona!

Donation protected
Meet Kari—a remarkable mother who has overcome incredible odds to pursue her passion for computer science. While raising two children on her own, she worked tirelessly to earn both her undergraduate and graduate degrees, proving that determination and intelligence can triumph over any challenge.
Kari's expertise in computer science runs deep. From a young age, she was drawn to technology and has never stopped pursuing her dreams. Her impressive résumé speaks volumes about her capabilities—she recently worked as a contractor for a State Department on cutting-edge AI counter-terrorism projects, showcasing both her technical skills and her commitment to public service.
The Challenge:
When recent DOGE budget cuts eliminated her position, Kari found herself unexpectedly unemployed. Despite her stellar qualifications, she has spent months navigating a difficult job market and submitting hundreds of applications. The financial strain of this extended job search has been challenging.
The Opportunity:
After months of searching, Kari has finally received an amazing job offer that will allow her to fulfill her dream of teaching computer science! This position represents not just employment, but the chance to inspire the next generation of tech innovators.
The Need There's just one obstacle: the job requires relocating from Nevada to Arizona, and the extended job search has left Kari without the funds needed for this move. Moving expenses, security deposits, and travel costs are preventing her from accepting this life-changing opportunity.
How You Can Help Your contribution will directly fund:
● Moving truck and transportation costs
● Security deposits for housing
● Travel expenses
● Essential moving supplies
No amount is too small—every dollar brings Kari closer to her classroom and her students closer to an exceptional educator.
Why This Matters:
When you support Kari, you're not just helping one family—you're investing in education and the future of computer science. Her students will benefit from learning from someone who has overcome real challenges and achieved success through perseverance and dedication.
Kari's journey from single mother to computer science educator is an inspiration. Help us make sure her story continues with the chapter she's worked so hard to reach.
Thank you for considering a donation and for helping Kari achieve her dream of teaching!
