My name is Liv, I’m a junior in the sculpture department at RISD who recently switched from furniture. The environment of this school has been the one place I’ve felt truly able to pursue my ambitions and feel safe in my own skin. Having a supportive community and receiving a good education has been a beacon of light that I have always strived for and it has given me hope my future but there’s been a sudden change in my family’s circumstances. This past year has been tough financially on my family, our source of income has been unstable. I am no longer able to pay for my college tuition in the time frame that is required for this next semester and am asking for help with this fundraising.
