My name is Brianna, and for the past two years, I have been living completely on my own, working two jobs and doing everything I can to support myself. I am currently a nursing student at GCU, and while the university has given me many wonderful opportunities, there’s only so much they can do to help financially. I find it hard to ask for help, but after exhausting every option, I am turning to my community as a last resort.

Balancing 6-7 days of work each week with a full course load has been incredibly challenging, but I am determined to achieve my dream of becoming a trauma travel nurse. This has been my goal for the past eight years, and I am not ready to give up. The funds raised here will go directly toward my tuition, and if absolutely necessary, will help cover some living expenses so I can stay focused on my studies and clinicals.

I am deeply grateful for any support—whether it’s a donation, advice, or simply sharing my story. Growing up, I didn’t have much, which has taught me to appreciate everything I have, but it has also made it difficult to get by financially. Your kindness and encouragement mean the world to me as I work toward making a difference in the lives of others as a nurse.
