How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals
A $20,000 award would be life-changing for our daughter. As parents who didn’t attend college, it’s our dream to give her opportunities we didn’t have. This support would help build her college fund early, ease future financial burdens, and allow her to focus on learning and growing. It would set a strong foundation for her future and show her that her big dreams are absolutely within reach.
