Hi everyone,

My name is Nicole Kessler. I am 19, and I'm currently a freshman at the University of Delaware, pursuing a degree in Biological Sciences. After my 4 years at this university, I hope to go to medical school to become an anesthesiologist to be a small part of saving lives. It has always been a dream of mine to be able to help people in any way I can, and unfortunately, with this bump in the road, I may not be able to reach my goals and dreams that I've had since I was a child.

Despite working part-time and applying for scholarships and financial aid, I’ve come up short in covering my tuition for my current spring semester. The stress of trying to make ends meet while also staying focused on school has been overwhelming, and I’m at a point where I may have to delay or pause my studies if I can't raise the remaining funds.

I’m turning to this community for help—not because it's easy to ask, but because I believe in the kindness of people who understand that sometimes, we all need a little support to keep going.

The funds raised will go directly toward tuition, books, and essential school expenses. Every donation, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to staying enrolled and continuing the education I’ve worked so hard for.

I’m deeply grateful for any help you can give—whether it’s a donation, a share, or simply words of encouragement. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for being part of my journey.

With gratitude,

Nicole
