Most of you are aware that I am on the cusp of beginning my FINAL semester of nursing school! Most of you have been following my story and many of you have witnessed firsthand the obstacles that I have faced. Now, I am facing what I hope to be my final obstacle in this journey.

Up until this semester, I have been so fortunate to either have secured financial assistance or been able to pay for my tuition in payments. However, the programs that have so graciously assisted me in the past are out of funding, and with there only being 2-3 weeks between summer and fall semesters, it's become pretty much impossible since I will not get a paycheck until after the semester has already begun. I need to raise $700 to be able to finish nursing school!

I do NOT like to ask for help. I've always tried to do whatever it takes to make it. This is my 3rd attempt at this RN degree, and I am almost there! Due to last semester, my savings is depleted because I couldn't get 40 hours in and I did not qualify for a loan. I know everyone goes through tough times, and I hope to be in a position to pay it forward very soon! Y'all, I have battled through my mother being ventilated 3 different times, the devastating loss of my kids' father/my lifelong person, an unexpected move, my car blowing up, and a horrible breakup. I have fought and worked so hard to get to this point. So I'm asking that if God puts it on your heart to donate, I would be so grateful to you. You can donate here, on this GoFundMe, or I can give you the information to donate directly into my account at Bevill State... whichever you prefer. I will also include my cashapp or venmo if you prefer those ways:

I look forward to the day when I can tell my whole story and be an inspiration to women who think it's too late or that they've messed up too much! Thank you all for your love and support. Whether you are able to donate $1 or $100... even if you can't donate monetarily but you can pray for me, I am so thankful for you!
