Help Heather Finish Nurse Practitioner School

Hi Everyone. My name is Heather, I’m a single mom to the three best kids. I’m humbly and embarrassingly here asking for something that I never do, I’m asking for help. I’m currently one semester away from graduating Nurse Practitioner school at the University of Cincinnati with my Women’s Health Degree. Unfortunately, life has been really hard for me and my kids that last few years. This summer, I finally was able to leave a dangerous domestic violence situation, and for the fact I got out safely, that is my greatest blessing as I know many others are not as fortunate. I am trying my hardest to stay afloat but unfortunately, I can’t keep up.

Starting over from scratch with three kids has not been easy. I’m working as much as I can as a night RN, then trying to do my clinical rotations on Day shift. It’s been a struggle but I’ll always do what I have to do for my kids. I currently owe $6,871.92 to be able to complete my last semester. If you can help in any way, I promise to be forever in debt to you and pay it forward in the future to someone else seeking help.

I am not looking for a hand out, if I can’t continue with school right now, that’s okay. I’m just trying to take back the control in my life. I know I don’t “fit the bill” or “look like” someone who needs help or was a victim. If there’s one thing you can help me with, let it be this….So many times when I was the patient I wish I was asked “Are you safe at home?” And I never was. Please ask your patients. And be prepared for when they say they are not safe. What can you do?

Thank you ❤️
