From Homeless to Law School: A Journey of Hope

Donation protected

Six years ago, I was living on the streets, addicted to meth, and trapped in a cycle of incarceration that lasted ten years. My life was consumed by addiction, homelessness, and the constant struggle to survive. But despite every obstacle, I refused to let my past define my future. Today, I stand as living proof that redemption is possible. With five Associate Degrees and a Bachelor's Degree, I have now been accepted into Trinity Law School and will be starting this fall!

My decision to pursue law is deeply personal. While incarcerated, my daughter was adopted without my knowledge or consent—a devastating experience that shattered me but also ignited my purpose. I learned firsthand how the justice system fails families, especially those impacted by incarceration, and I vowed to fight for parents and children who face the same fate. My mission is clear: to become an attorney who advocates for families, fights for justice, and ensures no one else has to endure the pain I have lived through.

Why Your Support Matters

Law school is a significant financial commitment, and I cannot do this alone. I am excited to share that I have been accepted into Trinity Law School and will be starting this fall! Your donation will help cover the expenses of law school, including tuition, books, and other necessary costs to make this dream a reality. Every dollar brings me closer to becoming the attorney I aspire to be—one who will fight for justice, advocate for families, and ensure that others do not have to endure the pain and injustice I have experienced.

This is more than just my dream; it is my life’s calling. I know what it’s like to feel forgotten, to battle against a system designed to keep people trapped in cycles of poverty and incarceration. But I also know that education is the key to breaking those cycles. With your support, I can step into a courtroom—not as a defendant, but as a fierce advocate for justice.

How You Can Help

No amount is too small—every donation brings me one step closer to my goal. If you are unable to contribute financially, sharing my story can help me reach those who can. Together, we can make a difference—not just for me, but for the families I will dedicate my legal career to protecting.

Thank you for believing in second chances, for supporting redemption, and for helping me turn my pain into purpose.

Your support means everything. Let’s make this dream a reality—not just for me, but for the justice system that so desperately needs change.
