Optometry School Equipment

As a lot of you know I left my job as a Nuclear Medicine Technologists at the Birmingham VA to go back to school to obtain  an optometry degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) School of Optometry. I am reaching out to all my friends and family in hopes that collectively you all would be able to help me afford the equipment that is necessary as I'm almost finished my first year and will be venturing into the skills portion of my schooling soon. My family and I have been dependent on and living off of loan money that I receive for school. However, the cost for my school equipment is not included in my tuition and cost of attendence so I would consider it a blessing if you could make a donation that would enable me to afford the equipment I need to succeed. I have also included below not only a copy of my grades from my first two semesters, but also the receipt from my equipment purchase. Despite having a wife and young child I'm still putting in the work and doing very well so you know that your donation will not be in vain. Thank you all in advance and God Bless!

The cost of the equipment is $3,162.50 but I have the goal set at $3,450.00 to cover the fees associated with Gofundme.
