Hi, my name is Virginia, and I’m a nursing student who is trying to stay in school during a really difficult financial situation. Recently, my family experienced an unexpected loss of income, and everything changed very quickly. The financial information on my FAFSA no longer reflects our reality, and my parent was denied the Parent PLUS loan because of credit issues.

Because of this, I’ve been left with an unexpected balance that I’m unable to cover on my own. I work while going to school and do everything I can to support myself, but this amount is more than I can manage alone. Nursing means everything to me—it’s not just a degree, it’s the career I’ve worked so hard for and the way I want to help others.

I’m asking for help to cover tuition and school-related expenses so I can remain enrolled and continue toward my goal of becoming a nurse. Any support, whether it’s donating or sharing, truly means more than I can explain.

All funds will be used for my tuition and my tuition alone. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.
