Help Me Reach the Finish Line—Support My Journey in Social Work

Hello friends, family, and supporters,

I’m reaching out with deep humility and hope as I ask for your support in helping me cross the finish line of a journey that means the world to me.

As the first in my family to pursue a higher education at the master’s level, this path has been both a tremendous honor and a challenge. I’ve worked hard to get this far, balancing academic demands with personal and financial responsibilities, all while staying focused on a mission that’s bigger than myself—serving others as a social worker.

I have currently completed my Master's in Social Work, and I’m just one step away from my dream of becoming a licensed professional in the field. However, I’m facing financial hurdles that could delay this final step. I’m raising funds to cover the remaining balance of my tuition and to pay for the licensing exam that will allow me to officially begin serving individuals, families, and communities in need.

Social work isn’t just a career for me—it’s a calling. I believe in the power of advocacy, healing, and empowerment. I want to help others, especially those who feel ignored, as so many have helped me.

Any contribution, no matter the size, is a step closer to this goal. Your support isn’t just helping me—you’re investing in every life I hope to impact through my future work.

Thank you for believing in me.

With gratitude,
Jenny Thao
