Testimonials

Hear how emergency funds can transform the lives of LEAF Scholars:

"My dad supports six of us on a minimum wage job, leaving me struggling to keep up with education expenses."
"As a first-gen, low-income Latina caring for my sister with a disability, unexpected costs have severely impacted my finances."
"I transferred to a new university but wasn't prepared for extra housing and food expenses, and I'm living off dry foods."
"I'm unable to cover my DACA renewal fee due to juggling educational expenses and unforeseen car repairs."

Together, we can ensure no student has to choose between a financial emergency and their future.
