My name is Kameo Benally, and I am currently in my second year of graduate studies at Northern Arizona University, pursuing a degree in speech-language pathology. I am coming close to completing my graduate studies and will be walking this May with my cohort. I am seeking financial support. As a single mother of two boys, I have had to make significant sacrifices in order to dedicate myself to my education. In pursuing my education, I have had to relocate three hours away from my children to take the required in-person classes my degree program requires, as well as sacrificing a job to focus on my studies and clinical practicums. I travel back every other weekend to be with my boys, and I have been managing my expenses through my student loans and scholarships I have received each semester.

Recently, my financial resources have run low, and I am currently in need of assistance with my cap and gown, rent, vehicle payment/insurance, and other bills for the month of April and May. I would gratefully appreciate any financial support you can provide to help me manage until the end of my Spring 2025 semester.
