My name is Hannah, and I’m raising funds to help my family relocate from Vermont to Virginia as I begin a new chapter after earning my Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology this May.

My path to this moment has not been easy. I became a young mother and spent years working to overcome poverty, housing instability, and significant personal challenges while raising my children and pursuing my education. There were times when simply getting through the week felt overwhelming, but I continued pushing forward because I wanted to build a better future for my family.

Despite those obstacles, I balanced parenting, graduate school, clinical placements, and financial hardship while continuing to work toward my goals. I recently accepted a full-time Speech-Language Pathologist position in Virginia, and this move represents stability, opportunity, healing, and a true fresh start for our family.

Right now, the biggest challenge is the cost of relocating. Funds raised will help cover:

Security deposit and moving costs

Rental and utility setup expenses

Moving truck, gas, and travel expenses

Basic transition costs during the move

This opportunity means everything to us, and any support — whether through donations or simply sharing this fundraiser — would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you for helping us reach the finish line and begin this new chapter.
