Hi, my name is Esmeralda. I’m a college student majoring in Business Management—and I’m also a mom.

I don’t like asking for help. I’ve always tried to carry the weight on my own, even when things got really difficult. But right now, I need a little support to cross the finish line.

I’m just 8 months away from graduating, and I recently learned that my financial aid doesn’t cover the full cost of my final year of tuition. After all the late nights, early mornings, and sacrifices I’ve made, it breaks my heart to think I might not finish, although I’ve paid thousands of dollars towards my tuition already.

This GoFundMe is only for tuition. Every dollar raised will go directly toward the balance I need to stay enrolled and earn my degree. I’m not asking for extras—just the chance to complete what I started and build a better future for my child and me.

If you can give, thank you from the bottom of my heart. And if you can’t, sharing this would mean the world. Your support isn’t just helping me graduate—it’s helping me change our lives.

With all my gratitude,

Esmeralda N.
