My name is Sade' and I am a single mother of 2 boys, with a baby girl on the way. I work full-time as a Certified Medical Assistant while pursuing my BSN online. I am halfway through my degree — only a few semesters away from becoming a nurse. This degree is my ticket to a stable life for my children. If you know me, you know that I've been on this journey for a really long time. I am finally at the finish line.

I need to raise $3,000 to help cover my tuition balance. I've already applied for all the financial aid and grants I qualify for, but I still have a gap that I can't afford on my own. Without this, my account will be sent to collections and I won't be able to continue my education.

I know everyone has their own struggles, and I don't take your support for granted. I wouldn't normally ask for help, but I've put my pride aside because I am desperately trying to build a future for my children.

Any amount helps — even $5 or $10. And if you can't donate, sharing this with someone who can means just as much to me. Thank you for reading and for being part of my journey.
