Faye was only 12 when childhood ended. While her peers were focused on school and play, she was working long hours just to afford an education of her own.

Through grit and determination, she managed to pay her way to an Associate’s degree. But behind that success was a heavy burden. Driven by the narrative that “education changes lives,” and without the financial literacy to navigate the system, Faye took on debt that narrowed her career choices and left her with painful regret.

Now, she is determined to turn hardship into hope. Faye’s vision is to create a nonprofit that will help Americans ease student loan debt and teach the financial skills she wishes she had.

To bring this vision to life, Faye is seeking $100,000 in support. These funds will serve as the foundation for launching the nonprofit—covering legal setup, financial literacy programs, and direct relief efforts for students most in need.

Her goal is simple yet powerful: a future where education uplifts rather than traps, where young people can follow their passions without being chained to loans.

Supporting Faye is supporting every student’s right to learn without the chains of debt. It is standing up for a future where passion, not payments, defines our choices.
