Rising Tides: A Fresh Start Toward Marine Biology

I am a determined young woman currently facing homelessness, working every day to rebuild my life and pursue a future in marine biology in Hawaii. While I have family, they are unable to support me, and I have been navigating this journey on my own—saving what I can while striving to stay focused on my goals. My passion for the ocean is more than a dream; it is a path toward purpose, stability, and a meaningful career. However, without a strong support system, the financial challenges of relocating and continuing my education have become overwhelming. I am reaching out to my community with hope and humility, asking for your support in helping me take this life-changing step toward a better future.
