Hannah is a strong , bright, ambitious and kind young woman who has dreamed of working for The Jacksonville Zoo since she was a small child. Hannah also has autism.  Despite having to work harder than most, she graduated HS with Honors and was awarded almost a full ride to Southeastern University in Lakeland, Fl.  Hannah chose to study Biology, and has been successful in her program. 

As she approaches her final 3 semesters, the ADA office at SEU has offered her an accomidation for a reduced course load to help her manage the intensity of the courses that remain. This accomidation would greatly reduce the toll that these final class would take on Hannah's mental health and academic performance. Unfortunately, accepting this accomidation means sacrificing a significant portion of her academic scholarships, as she would no longer be considered a full time student. 

Hannah has already maxed out the loan amount she has been offered for each semester, and her parents have maxxed out what they can contribute. Hannah will need between $18-20k to be able to finish her program. Please consider sharing this post and possibly co tributing to this fundraising goal to help Hannah finish strong and persue her dream to become a keeper at The Jacksonville Zoo.
