I’m a 23-year-old full-time nursing student and full-time employee, balancing 12-hour shifts three days a week and attending classes the other four. It hasn’t been easy, but I’ve kept going because becoming a nurse has always been my dream.

Recently, my world has been turned upside down. Due to the immigration raids, some of my closest loved ones have been directly impacted ,they’re no longer able to work. My support system is struggling, and now my employer has told me I’m not allowed to pick up any more hours. For the first time, I find myself in a position where I truly need help.

I’m so close to the finish line I graduate this December, but I’m worried I won’t make it without financial support. Anything you’re able to give would mean the world to me. Your kindness would not only help me continue my journey.
