Hi, my name is Ananda Raye Dobbs, and I’m a dedicated architecture student at Howard University. I'm reaching out because I’m facing financial hardship that has made it difficult for me to secure housing while continuing my education.

Pursuing architecture is a dream, and Howard has given me some of the tools, mentors, and community to bring that dream to life. But recent challenges have made it nearly impossible to say I have a stable place to stay. Balancing classes, design projects, and more has pushed me to ask for support.

Your donation, no matter how small, would go directly toward housing expenses and essential needs so I can continue pursuing my education. Every bit helps, and I’m truly grateful for your generosity, encouragement, and kindness.

Thank you for standing with me as I work toward building a better future for myself and the communities I hope to serve through architecture one day.
