Dear Hacia, I am deeply honored and grateful to be a recipient of the Hacia Delante! Scholarship. Your generous support means so much to me as an undocumented student striving to pursue higher education and overcome the unique challenges that come with my status. This scholarship lifts a significant financial burden, allowing me to focus fully on my studies and my broader mission. As a first-year Biology student with a passion for social justice and human rights, I am inspired every day to work toward a future where I can defend oppressed communities as an international lawyer. Your commitment to empowering undocumented scholars like me fuels my hope and determination to achieve these goals. I’m so thankful that this award will help me continue my education and move closer to making a meaningful impact in the world. Thank you for believing in students like me and for making higher education more accessible despite the obstacles we face. Your generosity not only supports my academic journey but also strengthens my resolve to give back and advocate for others. With heartfelt thanks, Aissatou Kane
