Because this campaign is built around a simple idea: if enough people each do one small thing, it can create a big result. Instead of asking a few people for a large amount, I’m asking 125,732 people to give $1.

My name is Dr. Emmanuel De La Torre. I’m an educator, pastor, and leader who has spent much of my life investing in people through teaching, leadership, and service. This campaign is connected to the student loan debt I took on while pursuing higher education.

All contributions go toward helping reduce my student loan debt, along with any related payment-processing fees associated with receiving donations.

Yes, absolutely. The campaign is centered on $1 because it makes participation simple and accessible, but anyone is welcome to give more if they choose.

No. You can give $1 or any amount you’d like. The $1 amount is simply the idea behind the campaign.

This campaign is designed to stay as simple and direct as possible. I’m using the platform and payment method that best supports the campaign goals, transparency, and ease of giving.

No. This is a personal fundraising campaign, not a charitable donation to a nonprofit organization. Because of that, contributions are not tax-deductible.

Transparency matters to me. I plan to share updates showing:the starting student loan balancethe amount raisedthe amount paid toward the loansthe remaining balanceWhen appropriate, I’ll also share redacted screenshots or proof of payments.

I plan to update the campaign regularly so people can follow the journey and see the progress toward the goal.

That’s completely okay. You can still help by sharing the campaign, telling others about it, and following the journey. Sharing may be just as valuable as giving.

Education changed my life. It opened doors and helped equip me to serve others through teaching and leadership. But that journey came with a significant financial cost. This campaign is my attempt to tackle that burden in a creative and hopeful way.

Because this campaign represents something bigger than one person’s debt. It’s about community, generosity, and the idea that many small actions can make a real difference.

No. While the immediate goal is to pay down my student loan debt, this campaign is also about community and collective action.As a history and social studies teacher, I spend a lot of time helping students understand how people, movements, and communities can create change when they act together. I want this campaign to become a real-life example of that idea.If thousands of people each contribute something small, students can actually see that individual actions can add up to something much bigger.So for me, is not only about reaching a financial goal. It’s also about demonstrating the power of community, participation, and shared responsibility.

If the campaign raises more than what is needed to pay off my student loan balance, I want the extra funds to pay it forward.My goal would be to use any remaining amount to help someone else who is carrying student loan debt, so the generosity doesn’t stop with me.If that happens, I’ll clearly explain how the recipient is selected, how much is given, and how the funds are distributed so the process remains transparent.The hope is simple: if this campaign reaches zero, maybe it can help someone else move closer to zero too.

I plan to update the campaign regularly so people can follow the journey and see the progress toward the goal.
