Help a Single Mom Achieve Her Dream of Becoming a Nurse
Donation protected
Hello everyone,
My name is Lakia, and I’m a single mom with a big dream—to become a nurse. For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to help people in need, and I believe that a career in nursing is my true calling. However, as a single parent, balancing the responsibilities of raising my children and pursuing my education has been challenging, both emotionally and financially.
I’m currently enrolled in a nursing program that will allow me to build a stable and fulfilling career. I’ve completed my first semester with a 3.5 GPA, but I’m facing a significant obstacle: I simply can’t afford the cost of tuition, books, and other necessary expenses while also providing for my children. I did not work my first semester to focus solely on my studies. The demands of school made it impossible for me to work full-time, and without financial support, I’m worried that my dream of becoming a nurse may slip away.
This is where I’m humbly asking for your help. I’ve set up this GoFundMe to raise funds that will cover the cost of my education and support my family while I’m in school. Every dollar raised will go directly toward tuition, textbooks, school supplies, and living expenses, allowing me to focus on my studies and become the best nurse I can be.
I know that times are tough for everyone, and I’m incredibly grateful for any support you can provide—whether it’s a donation, a share on social media, or simply a kind word of encouragement. Your generosity will not only help me achieve my goal but also allow me to set a positive example for my children, showing them that with hard work and the support of a caring community, anything is possible.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story. I’m looking forward to the day when I can give back to my community as a compassionate and skilled nurse, and with your help, that day will come sooner than I ever thought possible.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Lakia
