Students report: “I have gained the confidence to try new things.”

Dear Donor, this 30-day course changed the trajectory of my life. I’ve seen sides of myself and the world that I haven’t witnessed in many years. I knew this journey would change me, but I never imagined it would be this beautiful. Thank you so much for making this course a reality for me.
