Crystal's Education Journey

Donation protected
Boozhoo, Crystal indizhnikaaz.

I am a part-time student at Laurentian University. I am also a wife, mother, and grandmother who now stays at home as a full-time caregiver to my grandchildren who are both under the age of 5 years.

For the past 5 years, I have been a student at Laurentian University. I am completing my honors degree in Indigenous Studies with a minor in history. I have the potential to graduate in June 2024 upon a successful completion of my final 2 courses this semester (ends in April).

In October 2023, my granddaughter was diagnosed with blastomycosis and was hospitalized for a month. I am now on parental caregiver benefits until she fully recovers, and all of her follow-up appointments have been attended. We have a journey ahead as she has been diagnosed with fatty liver as well. My grandson is not school age and the local daycares have a long waiting list and he currently sits in the 90th position.

My family income has been cut short, as there is no other option for childcare and I will not be returning to the workforce full-time until my granddaughter's health journey is complete.

The OSAP (Ontario Student Assistance Program) I am receiving for this semester is under a hundred CDN dollars. I am also not funded by my band.

If you cannot donate, a share is greatly appreciated.

Miigwech,
Crystal
