I never thought I would ask for help, but here I am humbly reaching out. My name is Mikee Gutierrez, and I am raising funds to continue my education at Augusta Technical College, where I am pursuing a career in Radiology.

Over the past two years, life has been extremely challenging. I was laid off from my job and have struggled to find steady, good-paying employment. I have depleted my 401k just trying to stay afloat, all while balancing tuition costs, debt, a mortgage, and everyday bills. Despite doing everything I can, it feels like I keep falling behind.

Going back to school has been a huge step for me. Radiology is not just a career I am passionate about; it is a path that allows me to grow, build stability, and eventually give back to others. My dream is not only to succeed professionally, but also to help people through healthcare, support my family, and have the opportunity to travel and give back to communities in need.

The financial hardship, however, has been overwhelming. Tuition, books, and living expenses add up quickly, and without help, I am afraid I will not be able to continue moving forward toward this goal

I am humbly asking for your support. Any amount, big or small, would truly make a difference in helping me stay in school, cover my expenses, and work toward a brighter future. Your kindness would not only help me through this difficult season, but it would also be an investment in the kind of person I am striving to become: someone who overcomes hardship, succeeds, and uses that success to help others.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for reading my story and for any support you can give, whether through donations or by sharing my campaign. Your generosity will never be forgotten.
