Success Story sophia c.

Sophia graduated from the University of Georgia in December 2021 with a degree in Exercise and Sport Science and is now pursuing a doctorate in physical therapy, specializing in outpatient care for breast cancer patients.

As the middle of three siblings, Sophia has faced challenges, including her older sibling's battle with breast cancer and her family's financial struggles, especially during the pandemic. Despite this, she remains dedicated to her studies and volunteer work, spending summers assisting migrant farmers through a Georgia State University program.

With the help of JELF’s interest-free loans, Sophia has been able to focus on her education without additional financial stress. She is deeply grateful to the donors who made this support possible, helping her pursue her dream of becoming a physical therapist.

JELF applicants often rely on support for at least four years. Your sponsorship creates a lasting impact on their lives—
thank you for being part of their journey.
