Single Mom 1stGenCollegeStudent-RN Education Fund

Donation protected


Hello, My name is Ericia. I’m a single 23-year-old mother and a first-generation college student seeking financial assistance as I’m unable to obtain income due to not having employment since June 2018(due to a high-risk pregnancy). I stopped working at 4months because I diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum. I got into a car accident due to a driver hitting me head-on during my pregnancy so I have no transportation or no liable babysitter for my 1-year-old son. However, I was using school to make a better living for myself but due to the pandemic, I’m unable to obtain employment because my medial collateral ligament is damaged and I have limited help with my son. 




I'm organizing this fund to pay for my current tuition at my college. $2,536.50

All documentation would be furnished below


I currently have my associates in science. However, I went back to school to pursue my associates in nursing. Throughout my journey, I have experienced my own set of challenges all while furthering my studies. In 2017 I have been warranted the responsibility of caring for my great-grandmother as she began to demonstrate difficulties with her memory. Also, I encountered multiple medical challenges during my pregnancy in 2018. I was diagnosed with intrahepatic cholestasis in my third trimester making me deliver prematurely at 35weeks. Last year, When my son was born on Jan 2, 2019, I decided to leave school to care for my premature son. He was in the NICU for 10days and I was recovering from an emergency c-section so I was unable to continue my education. 




My love and passion to help people are embedded in me. I desire to do what I can to help support individuals through health care. I am passionate about providing care to those who are sick as well as providing preventative care. I clearly understand how sickness can hinder a person’s ability to function to their full capacity. 







Now that’s he's 1 and caring for him is more manageable I want to resume my education to further my studies as a nurse. However, due to my having a balance, I’m unable to register for nursing classes or evens apply for the program because my balance has to be paid in full to register and to get my transcripts sent over to the nursing department. I have applied for grants and scholarships through my school as well as search engines like Fast Web, College Board, and through the Michigan Education Department. Originally I was using my mom's income for my financial aid but it was cut off due to her making to much money since I’m attending a community college. 




Nevertheless, my personal experiences including motherhood have cultivated my passion and motivated me to want to heal lives. Therefore, my mission is to provide preventative intervention to individuals as well as caring for those who are not well. I am eager to become a part of the nursing program. 




I am only 35 credits away from completing my nursing degree which I plan on advancing into the RN2BSN program through the University of Michigan-Flint (Which I already been accepted to) once I’m completed. Any amount donated is deeply appreciated even if it’s $1.00.
