Dear Friends, Family & Supporters,

I’m reaching out on behalf of my beautiful and determined granddaughter, Sheniya Brown, who is just one step away from fulfilling her lifelong dream of becoming a Registered Nurse. After years of dedication, hard work, and sacrifice, Sheniya is set to graduate on May 28, 2025—but she needs a little help crossing the finish line.

About Sheniya:

A devoted single mother of two amazing sons, ages 13 and 11

Maintains a 3.5 GPA and is a proud National Honor Society inductee

Has worked in healthcare since 2009—starting as a CNA, then earning her LPN in 2013

Has been a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) for 11 years

Continues to work 16-hour shifts to support her family and pay for her education

Meet Her Sons:

Camren (13) is an honor roll student at Cab Calloway, taking honors and college prep classes

Carter (11) is also an honor roll student and will attend Conrad next year to study computer coding

Sheniya has managed to reach this final stretch of her nursing education with the help of grants and sheer determination. However, all of her grants have now ended, and she is left with a remaining tuition balance of $7,000, which must be paid in full before May 28, 2025 in order to receive her diploma.

Why She Deserves Your Support:

Sheniya is more than a future nurse—she's already a healer, caregiver, and role model. She’s worked tirelessly for over a decade in healthcare, even without her BSN, and has consistently gone above and beyond to care for others while raising two brilliant boys on her own.

Let’s come together to help lift the financial burden off her shoulders so she can finally receive the diploma she has worked so hard for—and so richly deserves.

How You Can Help:

We’re seeking to raise $7,000 to cover her final tuition payment. Any amount, no matter how small, will bring her one step closer to her goal.

Your donation will not only help a dedicated nurse graduate—it will support a family, uplift a community, and celebrate a story of resilience, perseverance, and purpose.

With gratitude and love,

Nailah Bakari Gilliam El (Dr. G)
