Hi, my name is Tiffany Errecalde. I’m a widowed mother of two, a first-generation college graduate, and a passionate healthcare worker pursuing my dream of becoming a Licensed Vocational Nurse (LVN).

For my birthday this year, I’m asking for something deeply meaningful: help getting through my fall semester of nursing school.

Starting August 11, I’ll be attending an intensive full-time LVN program. To fully dedicate myself to this next step, I’ve made the difficult decision to cut back from working 6 days a week to just one—so I can focus on clinicals, lectures, and caring for my children. While this is necessary for my education and long-term goals, it also means a major financial sacrifice.

I’m humbly asking for your support to help cover the essentials:

• Tuition & Enrollment Fees

• Books & Nursing Supplies

• Basic Living Expenses (rent, groceries, gas) while I’m in school

My goal is to raise $8,000 to get me through this fall semester with stability and peace of mind. Every single donation, no matter the size, helps ease the burden and brings me one step closer to becoming a nurse—a dream born from both my personal loss and professional calling.

I’ve spent the last several years caring for others—as a medical assistant, caregiver, and home health aide. Now, I’m ready to take the next step in giving back through nursing.

If you feel moved to support or even just share this, I’d be beyond grateful. Thank you for helping make this birthday count toward something life-changing.

With all my heart,

Tiffany Errecalde
