Help Nathaniel Complete His Degree

My name is Nathaniel Primous. I am a student at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley School of Podiatric Medicine who is close to completing my degree. Becoming a physician has been a lifelong dream for me. However, due to a personal situation, I am having to take a one-year leave of absence before being able to return and complete the DPM program.

During my leave, I also had plans of enroll in the university's 100% online accelerated Master of Science Health Sciences program as well. However, I have now just recently been informed that I have reached my lifetime aggregate limit for federal loans, which was my primary method of financing my education. Because of this, not only does my completion of a master's degree seem unlikely, even if I complete the initial summer term, but now I am in danger of not having the opportunity to achieve my Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree. Not only do I think of myself, but everyone who has believed in me along the way; especially my mother, who always picked me up when I was discouraged, and my nieces who look up to me and give me constant inspiration.

I'm at a point now where accomplishing my dream seems impossible. But I'm giving my best effort to stay resilient and focused. I know that with persistence, faith, and a little help from you all, this dream is possible. Whether you give $5, $20, or $50, any and every contribution will help bring me closer to my goal.
