Future Physical Therapist Needing Your Support

Hello, my name is Jeremiah Hedrick, and I am currently a second year student pursuing my Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT). Becoming a physical therapist has been a lifelong dream of mine, one rooted in my passion for helping others regain strength, mobility, and confidence in their lives. I know that this path is exactly where I am meant to be, but it has not been an easy journey.

This past year has brought many ups and downs. Between the heavy workload of classes, long hours of studying, and hands-on clinical training, I’ve been challenged in ways I never imagined. At times, I’ve questioned whether I was strong enough to push through the demands of graduate school. But despite the obstacles, I’ve learned that perseverance and faith can carry me through. Making it this far has only confirmed that I belong here, and that I have what it takes to one day serve others as a dedicated physical therapist.

However, the financial burden of pursuing this degree has been extremely difficult. Balancing tuition, books, clinical costs, and living expenses has created a level of stress that sometimes feels overwhelming. While I have been doing everything I can to manage on my own, the reality is that I need support in order to continue my education and stay on this path.

I am raising funds to help cover tuition and essential school-related expenses, which will allow me to focus more on my studies and clinical practice rather than worrying constantly about finances. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings me closer to my goal and relieves some of the pressure that comes with this journey.

One day, I hope to give back by providing quality, compassionate care to patients in need, helping people restore their independence, recover from injuries, and improve their quality of life. Your support not only helps me achieve my personal dream but also invests in the future patients I will one day serve.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for believing in me, encouraging me, and supporting my journey. Your generosity means more than words can express.
