Hi everyone! For those who don't know me, my name is JaVe. I am very excited to say I've been accepted into Columbia University for my graduate program!! To secure my spot in the incoming class which starts this fall, I have to pay the enrollment fee by next Friday. This cannot be paid with financial aid.

I've worked SO hard to get here. Some of you know my journey with continuing school after my mother passed and graduating this past May with my chemistry degree. And I'm also taking care of my dad, who is a much older parent. Basically, things are just a lot right now.

If you have one dollar to spare, please consider helping me out. And please share!! I plan to change healthcare via genetics and narrative medicine and this is just another major step for me to get there.
