Help Maria Achieve Her Optician License

My name is Maria and I’m currently in the Apprenticeship Optician Program in hopes of obtaining my license to further my career. The eyeglass company I work for does not offer any form of compensation or reimbursement for the courses I need to take.

The courses require travel and hotel stays that I cannot afford on my own. These are once-a-year courses and my program is time-sensitive. I would appreciate any help in being able to continue my education.
