Hi! My name is Chloe Ritter-Betz, and I’m a freshman at Kent State University working toward my bachelor’s degree in Nursing with the goal of becoming a nurse midwife.

In June 2027, I have the amazing opportunity to study abroad in Florence, Italy for four weeks! This program will let me explore global healthcare, grow in my nursing education, and experience a new culture that will shape the kind of compassionate, understanding nurse I hope to become.

The total estimated cost of this trip is $10,711, which includes tuition, housing, meals, and travel. I’m working hard and saving what I can, but I would be so grateful for any support. Whether that’s a donation or simply sharing my story. Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve always wanted to work with babies and in healthcare, and this opportunity would bring me one step closer to making that dream come true.
