This is my amazing friend, Emma Hildebrand. This summer, Emma hopes to study abroad in Nice, France, an opportunity that would mean the world to her, but she’s currently working hard to come up with the funds to make it possible.

For as long as I’ve known Emma, she has been one of the most hard-working, selfless, and driven people I’ve ever met. She is paying for this experience entirely on her own, while balancing school, leadership roles, and constant involvement in community service. Emma is a straight-A (4.0) honor student, actively participates in RCC and SNA, and is on the path to becoming a future nurse, driven by her passion for helping others.

What truly sets Emma apart is how selfless she is, she’s always giving back, always showing up for others, and always putting her best effort into everything she does. She deserves every opportunity that comes her way, and this study abroad experience would be a huge step toward achieving her dreams.

I wanted to surprise Emma with this GoFundMe to help support her journey and show her just how many people believe in her. Any donation, big or small, would mean more than you know and help make this incredible opportunity a reality.

Thank you so much for supporting Emma and helping her chase her dreams
