Notre Dame School of Milwaukee quickly became more than a cause—it became part of who I am. From my extensive involvement, I’ve seen how strong leadership and a clear mission turn donations into meaningful impact. You show up for the kids, but as a donor, you gain purpose, connection, and a community that inspires you.

Notre Dame School of Milwaukee changed the course of my life. When I first arrived at NDSM, I was struggling academically. But with the support, encouragement, and belief of the NDSM community, I left ready to thrive—attending a top high school, earning a college degree, and eventually a master’s. I became the first in my family to achieve milestones we once thought were out of reach. Today, I give back to NDSM to help ensure other students have the same chance to dream big and achieve even more.

From the moment I walked the halls of Notre Dame School of Milwaukee, I knew I had found something extraordinary. What began as a simple volunteer experience quickly grew into a deep and lasting commitment. I’ve witnessed firsthand how the teachers pour their hearts into these children—not just as educators, but as mentors, mothers, and champions. As someone who grew up facing challenges of my own, I connect deeply with the mission to give every child the opportunity they deserve. The students’ joy, resilience, and dreams are infectious—from aspiring doctors to YouTubers, their hope lights up every corner of the school. Supporting NDSM fills my cup in ways I never expected. I may be the one giving, but I receive so much more in return.
