Help Me Begin My College Journey

Hi, my name is Raylin, and I’m currently a student at Kennesaw State University, working hard toward my college degree. I’m reaching out to ask for your help as I face a financial challenge that could affect my ability to begin school this fall.

My total tuition and fees for the upcoming semester are more than my financial aid can cover. After applying grants and aid, I still owe $4,000, which needs to be paid before classes begin in August. As someone deeply committed to my education and future, I’m doing everything I can — working part-time, applying for scholarships, and budgeting carefully — but it’s still not enough.

❤️ Why I’m Asking for Support

I was raised by an incredibly strong and loving single mother, who is doing her absolute best to support three teenagers — including me. While she works tirelessly to provide for us, the cost of higher education is simply more than we can manage on our own right now.

I’m passionate about my education and determined to build a better future, not only for myself but to be in a position one day to give back — especially to my family and community. This degree is my first step toward that dream.

How You Can Help

Any amount — big or small — will help me get closer to my goal and take a weight off my family’s shoulders. Even sharing this page would mean the world to me.

Goal: $4,000 (for tuition and required fees)

Deadline: Before August 22, 2025

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering being a part of my journey. Your kindness and generosity truly mean everything.

With gratitude,

Raylin
