My name is Romario, and I'm reaching out to you with a request for your support. I am an international student from humble beginnings in Jamaica. I was fortunate enough to come to the United States in 2016 on a track scholarship, and I have worked tirelessly to excel both on the track and in the classroom.

I graduated Summa Cum Laude with a bachelor’s degree in biology and a master’s degree in Sports and Exercise Science from St. Francis College Brooklyn, maintaining a cumulative GPA of 3.96. My journey has been one of dedication, perseverance, and a strong commitment to my dreams. My passion for medicine and helping others has been my guiding light.

I decided to follow my pursue my passion by applying to Physician Assistant (PA) school and I am thrilled to share that I received multiple acceptances. After careful consideration, I chose the CUNY School of Medicine because its leadership in primary care and its commitment to serving medically underserved communities matched my goals perfectly.

I am scheduled to start this fall; however, my international status has made it extremely challenging to secure the necessary loans to finance my education. Despite my hard work and achievements, I have been unable to find a suitable cosigner, leaving my dreams hanging in the balance.

Medicine is not just a career for me; it's a calling. I am deeply passionate about giving back to my community and inspiring others through education and healthcare. I believe in the power of medicine to change lives, and I am determined to use my knowledge and skills to serve those in need.

Your support can make a profound difference in my life and help me overcome the financial barriers that stand in my way. Every donation, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to realizing my dream of becoming a Physician Assistant. Your generosity will not only impact my future but also the countless lives I hope to touch through my work in medicine.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering supporting my journey. Together, we can make a difference and help me achieve my goal of giving back to the community that has given me so much.
