Hi friends,

Many of you know I’ve been trying to finish my degree for almost 10 years now. It’s been an intense, frustrating, fulfilling, and challenging journey full of winding roads and many surprises (like my sweet bean Zephyr). The strength I’ve found to persevere has come solely from my friends and family, our forever loving village. I am committed to finishing this degree, I am committed to being proud of myself, I am committed to making my village proud.

I am committed to closing this chapter and I am committed beginning whatever next chapter the universe has in store for me. I am very close to the finish line here, so what I’m asking for is some help to get me there. I love you all. I love you for what you’ve done and who you’ve been for me and Zephyr. And I love you for the help you give in all its infinite forms. You keep me going. You help us grow. I mean it when I say this will make my dream come true.
