Removing The Barriers So Anna Can Succeed

Donation protected
Anna is an amazing young lady who comes from a very complex background. Being born to teen parents complicated her upbringing - she never had that stable life many of her peers had. Moving between her two grandma's homes, in and out of homeless shelters, living in a car and motels. She never had that normal "being a kid life". Despite this life she maintained excellent grades in school.  Her spirit never broken. Her drive to succeed always fully charged. Anna is brilliant, loving, outgoing, supportive, and compassionate. 

She has always gave 100 % to be better not only for herself but her six siblings. Anna is the second oldest to five younger siblings which complicated her young life even more. She helps care for her siblings - sacrificing normal teen activities and materials. Anna takes public transportation to and school daily. Over an hour each way. She doesn't have the luxury of a school bus, parents who can drive her, drive eds, or her own car. She never complains or whines about it neither. She smiles and appreciates what she has. 

Anna is constantly thinking of others. She includes her siblings, family, and community in her future plans/goals.  She dreams of attending college right after high school so she can make a difference. She has interest in medicine, government, politics, economics, and statistics. She is in advanced placement classes with a GPA of 3.6. Anna is currently a junior in high school and on the National Honor Society. She has received offers for various college preparatory programs across the nation. These programs cost money her family does not have. A quick list of few programs Anna wants to attend: abroad English tutoring to children, pre-med junior program, Europe university tour, tour of Ivy Leagues in USA, and many others programs. Many of the programs don't have the typical financial aid. 

We are asking for help financially so Anna can follow her dreams to break free from life she born into. Anna didnt create the barriers or obstacles she faces everyday yet she keeps striving to succeed. Let's help by making some of it easier for her. We are also seeking help to get Anna drivers Ed and a vehicle. 

The funding would be spent to send Anna to week long emergency medicine program for high schoolers at Stanford University in California where she would get hands on experience in the medical field. She will also get to dissect a human cadaver. Anna applied and has been accepted. The down payment was paid by her father and now we need help to pay the remaining tuition. Totally around $6400. Drivers Ed is roughly $300 and first time car $1000.

Her goals are set, her dreams are big, her ambition strong, and determination limitless. Please help break the only barrier preventing Anna from succeeding. Please and thank you!
