Hi! I’m a college student and recently got diagnosed with autism. It has led me to discover some things in life that are harder for me than the average person. I struggle with transitions (getting in and out of bed, dealing with change, etc.), social interaction, and stim almost 24/7.

A little about me is that I love elephants, art, and nature. I appreciate the beauty in life and social interactions, but unfortunately, many spaces I’m in are overstimulating and crowded.

I'm starting this fundraiser to be able to afford an emotional support animal, which would help me tremendously with transitions, social interaction, and giving me some support and calm me down in overstimulating environments.

Even if you don’t contribute, thank you for reading this and getting to know a little bit about me and my story!
