Hi everyone, I never thought I would be in a position where I needed to ask for help like this, but right now I truly do. I am currently working as a nurse while continuing my education, pushing forward to advance my career and better serve my community. Like many, I’ve been facing financial challenges, and despite working hard, I’ve fallen behind on my tuition. I now have both current and past due tuition that must be paid in order for me to remain enrolled in school. I’ve spent countless hours searching for scholarships and financial assistance, but most require enrollment in at least 6 credit hours. At this time, I am only able to take 3 credit hours, which unfortunately disqualifies me from many opportunities. I also do not qualify for additional loans.

Continuing my education means everything to me. It’s not just about a degree, it’s about growth, stability, and being able to give more to my patients, my family, and my future. If you are able to help in any way, whether through a donation or simply by sharing this, it would mean more than I can express. Every little bit helps me stay on this path and not lose the progress I’ve worked so hard for. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can give. With gratitude, Stephanie
