Help Omaur Bliss go back to school
Donation protected
Hello everyone! I am really excited to announce that I have been accepted to the U of M coding bootcamp to become a web developer! It is an exciting opportunity to learn some new skills and enter a new vibrant field of the tech industry!
For those who are a little confused about the career change, due to COVID-19 my families world has been turned upside down.
My son was born on December 11th. 2019.
The shutdown happened in March just as my wife was heading back to work.
As the shutdown went on my wife was soon out of work and both of my businesses that I have worked hard to build were decimated leaving me out of work and rapidly burning through our savings and lines of credit.
It was then I realized I like many others, I would have to pivot my career to something that can sustain my family and create upward mobility. This meant I would have to go back to school.
The one industry that has grown exponentially has been the Tech sector. I have always been interested in learning how to build apps and websites using code.
With everything else in my business life collapsing I felt the time was now to make the career change.
School isn't free and in fact it's very expensive for the program. There are no grants that are available for the program and all cost must be paid out of pocket.
This is why I need your help!
The Program starts December 1st. I need to have the full tuition by November 30th. The $12,000 .00 will pay for tuition, a new computer monitor, and usb headset that I will need for the course.
This will be one of the biggest challenges of my life. Learning a new trade is always difficult. Learning a new trade in the midst of a pandemic that has caused financial ruin seems nearly impossible without the support of my friends and family.
I am asking you to donate whatever you can! No donation is too small. It will all help me to pay for the schooling to improve me and my families lives.
I am so grateful to each and everyone of you for all the support throughout the years. If you could support me again for this venture back to school I would be in your debt.
