Hello there! My name is Camden and I am a Biology and General Science  double major at Portland State University. I am currently in the process of applying to study abroad in Costa Rica. However, being a marginalized, low-income student presents challenges in pursuing this dream. The chance to study abroad in Costa Rica is not just an academic endeavor but a stepping stone to making impactful contributions to our understanding and preservation of tropical ecosystems. Any assistance you offer will directly support my educational journey, covering essential expenses such as tuition, travel, and living costs. Every dollar brings me closer to this life-changing experience, enabling me to return equipped with invaluable knowledge and a renewed commitment to conservation efforts.Your kindness can transform a dream into reality. Please consider donating today to help me embark on this educational adventure. Your support goes beyond financial aid; it empowers an aspiring scientist eager to make a meaningful difference in our world.Thank you for standing with me and believing in the potential of young leaders in STEM. Together, we can foster a brighter future for our planet.
