Rachelle Reichlin

D’Youville College, NY

Rachelle says that she enrolled in college to help people, adding that “with my future degree in occupational therapy, I intend to help patients as much as I can.”

The Pell Grant already has helped Rachelle, both by lowering her debt and her stress levels. But, “If Congress doubled the Pell Grant, I would feel less stress about financial difficulties,” she says about the impact of #DoublePell. “It would relieve the financial stress from my father to worry about me and my two siblings who are both in college. With the doubled Pell Grant, we could all go to college without fear of being able to afford the next semester.”
