Help Tricia Serve Her Community
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Tricia. Currently I am enrolled in a Paramedic program. I am already an EMT serving as a firefighter and an EMT at my local fire department. There is such a need for EMT's and Medics across the nation. I am passionate about this field and the opportunities it provides me to give back to my community in an area that is desperately in need. After I become a medic, I have committed to continue to serve at my firehouse. We are nearing the end of the class and almost ready for the state exam in June. However, before I can take the exam, I have to pay the remainder of the cost of the class which is $4,000. When I started this program is June, I had a plan on how to cover the total cost of $6,000. Unfortunately, as many of us know life throws us curveballs. I became ill in the middle of the program and had to be taken out of work for three months. Being a single mom of 3 I am the sole provider for the household. The money that was dedicated for my class had to go to paying bills. I am now healthy and back to work. I make enough to cover bills and provide for my kiddos but not enough to try and save enough for the exam in June. If anyone can help with my dilemma, anything helps.
Thank you in advance, your future Paramedic Tricia.
