Hi everyone, my name is Kelyn, and I have the privilege of working alongside Anna. I’m organizing this GoFundMe as a surprise for her, so please don’t mention it to her yet!

I admire Anna deeply, not just as a fellow nurse, but as a mother, a military service member, and an incredible human being. She gives her all to her patients, her family, and her country. No matter what life throws her way, she pushes forward with grit and grace. She’s the kind of person who inspires everyone around her just by the way she lives.

Anna became a wife and mother while still in high school, marrying her devoted husband and welcoming their first child before most teens even graduate. Instead of letting that slow her down, she worked her way through nursing school, eventually becoming a highly respected ICU nurse and earning her Critical Care Registered Nurse (CCRN) certification — a testament to her excellence in one of the most demanding fields in healthcare.

Today, she’s a busy mom of three, including her beautiful newborn baby girl and she’s still studying, determined to reach her next goal: becoming a military physician. She’s working toward her prerequisites and preparing for medical school, but as many of you know, the MCAT is one of the toughest hurdles. Anna wants to enroll in a professional MCAT prep course to give herself the best possible chance, but with the responsibilities of raising a young family, the cost is a challenge.

That’s where we come in.

Anna has spent her life serving others. Now it’s our turn to show her that her community is cheering her on.
