Optometry School Applications & Entrance Exam Prep

Donation protected
Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

I am reaching out to you today with a humble heart and a determined spirit as I embark on a journey to pursue my dream of becoming an optometrist. Over the past year, I have encountered significant challenges on my path, including periods of unemployment and the burden of mounting student loan debt. Despite these obstacles, my passion for eye care and my unwavering commitment to my goals remain steadfast.

After facing unexpected hurdles with employment, I found myself unable to keep up with the financial demands of pursuing higher education. The cost of optometry school applications, exam preparation materials/course fees, coupled with the burden of existing student loan debt, has become a barrier standing between me and my aspirations. Despite my best efforts, I was unable to secure the necessary resources to move forward with my educational endeavors.

Now, as I find myself once again unemployed, I refuse to let these challenges deter me from pursuing my dreams. If anything, the hardships I have faced have only reinforced my determination to become a doctor of optometry. Throughout my journey, I have consistently encountered a lack of support for aspiring eye care professionals who have not completed their education/certifications. 

Your contribution, big or small, will bring me closer to my dream. I would also be grateful for any support by sharing this fundraiser. Thank you for considering supporting me on this journey and for taking the time to read my story. Your belief in me is deeply appreciated.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Rachel
