Dear Friends and Supporters,

I want to share an important update and thank you for the continued encouragement you’ve shown me.

This past spring, I graduated with my Bachelor’s degree in Animation with Honors — a milestone that once felt impossible. Your belief in me helped make that achievement real.

My path has not been easy. I grew up in an abusive household and experienced significant trauma that has required years of healing. While I continue to manage PTSD and anxiety, I have worked hard to build stability, strength, and purpose through education and creativity.

Today, I am taking the next step toward my long-term goal of becoming an animatronic engineer. I am completing mechanical engineering coursework as I transition into STEM, building the technical foundation necessary to merge robotics, mechanics, and storytelling.

Continuing my education in Los Angeles comes with financial challenges, especially while prioritizing my mental health and stability. Your support helps me remain focused on my studies, reduce financial stress, and continue moving forward.

If you are able, please consider contributing or sharing my GoFundMe. Every act of support — whether financial or simply spreading the word — makes a meaningful difference.

Thank you for standing with me as I turn resilience into innovation and hardship into hope.

With gratitude,

Anita Sena
