Help Cristle Overcome and Pursue Medical School

Donation protected
Hi my name is Cristle. It's taken alot for me to attempt to publicly raise money for myself, but here I go.... On Friday December 1st 2023 I was injured at work. I fractured two bones and obtained severe tendinitis in my foot. There was a barrier blocking an exit while performing my duties as an aide for autistic elementary students. Unavoidibly, I stepped on it. Since, I've been through the ringer with Workman's Comp, not receiving the benefits or money I am qualified to receive. I have gone downtown and applied for everything I could and was denied. It's been 6 months and my bank accounts are drained and as per the comp rules, I am not allowed perform my spiritual services in turn for money either. I was terminated from my job and wasnt even notified since February. I just found out in early May when I reached out to the school. Then in April, I fell outside of a restaurant causing nerve damage to my spine, major concussion, muscular damage to my shoulders and back, sprained wrist, and bruised bone in my knee. With that I have bilateral nerve pain throughout my body. I cannot move my arms certain ways or lift most weighted objects. I randomly feel like I'm being shocked in my upper torso area, suffer from dibilitating migraines, loss of strength in my hands, uncontrollable twitching/jolting and shooting back pains that take my breath away, making my legs become weak and numb. At this point I have been stripped of all of my hobbies, independence and most of my happiness. My life before these injuries was very active and physical. I worked out for hours every day and lived very physical life style. This summer my goal was to start kayaking, now that possibility Is slim to none. The reason I am writing this today is because at this point I've had alot of down time to think. Alot of depression and alot of hard choices to make. I have lost the opportunity to take 3 police agility tests which has left me emotionally destroyed. With all of this negative, I've been looking for a light at the end of the tunnel, some positive. I have decided that I want to go back to school and pursue a particular profession in the medical field. Unfortunately, the schools that offer the courses I must complete start at about 20k a year. In the past I have never qualified for much aide or grants. I have always had a large tuition fee paid from out of pocket. Admissions for the fall semester close in August. There's nothing I would love to do more than to spend this time of healing and hopefully progressing, educating myself and completing the goals I have set for a better and successful future. It's been a long tough road.... even before these current events. I'm ready for better and am asking for help for myself for the first time. I am a very strong and determined individual, who's always worked multiple jobs and have always given back to those in need. I have never been lazy, but now I'm almost defeated. Please help me have a less stressful time trying to recieve a great education, complete medical school and better my life. -Thank you
