<div><strong>Ayúdame a continuar mi camino en la medicina</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hola, mi nombre es Yolymar Oquendo Alvarado y soy estudiante de medicina en la University of Medicine and Health Sciences (UMHS), con el objetivo de realizar una especialidad en pediatría y dedicar mi carrera a la salud infantil.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Recientemente aprobé el USMLE Step 1, uno de los exámenes más importantes en la formación médica. Alcanzar este logro ha requerido años de sacrificio, largas noches de estudio y una profunda dedicación.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>A lo largo de este proceso, he hecho todo lo que está en mis manos para sostenerme y continuar mis estudios. He trabajado como niñera, tutora, repostera, cocinera y, más recientemente, como diseñadora gráfica. Además, ya comencé mis rotaciones clínicas y continúo trabajando mi tiempo libre. Aun así, los costos de la escuela médica son elevados y mis ingresos no son suficientes para cubrirlos.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Este año, mi préstamo estudiantil fue denegado. El costo del año académico es de aproximadamente $60,000 y, aunque he explorado préstamos alternativos, no he tenido éxito. Por esta razón, este GoFundMe es mi último recurso para continuar mis estudios.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Cualquier apoyo —ya sea mediante una donación o compartiendo esta campaña— marca una gran diferencia. Tu ayuda no solo contribuye a cubrir los costos de mi educación, sino que también me permite continuar un camino construido con esfuerzo, fe y vocación.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Hoy, con humildad, pido ayuda para no perder todo por lo que he trabajado durante años. Cada contribución, grande o pequeña, representa un paso más hacia mi meta de convertirme en doctora.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Gracias por tomarte el tiempo de leer mi historia, por compartir esta campaña y por creer en mí.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Con gratitud,
</div>
<div>Yolymar Oquendo Alvarado
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>PD: Para proteger la privacidad de los niños con los que trabajo, he decidido representar estas experiencias mediante ilustraciones.

<div><strong>Help Me Continue My Journey in Medicine</strong>

<div>Hello, my name is Yolymar Oquendo Alvarado, and I am a medical student at the University of Medicine and Health Sciences (UMHS) pursuing a specialty in Pediatrics and dedicating my career to children’s health.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I recently passed the USMLE Step 1, one of the most important milestones in medical training. Achieving this required years of sacrifice, long nights of studying, and unwavering dedication.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Throughout this journey, I have done everything within my power to support myself and continue my education. I have worked as a babysitter, science tutor, baker, cook, and most recently, as a graphic designer. I have also begun my clinical rotations and continue working during any free time I have. Despite these efforts, the cost of medical school remains overwhelming, and my income is not enough to cover it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This year, my student loan application was denied. The cost of the academic year is approximately $60,000. Although I have explored alternative loan options, I have not been successful in securing funding. For this reason, this GoFundMe truly represents my last option to continue my medical education.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Any support—whether through a donation or by sharing this campaign—means more than words can express. Your help not only supports my education but also keeps alive a vocation built on effort, faith, and heart.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Today, with humility, I am asking for help so that I do not lose everything I have worked so hard for. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings me one step closer to achieving my dream of becoming a physician.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for taking the time to read my story, for sharing this campaign, and for believing in me during this difficult moment.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Yolymar Oquendo Alvarado
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>PD: The illustrations with kids represent real moments of service and learning. To protect the privacy of the children I work with, I chose to tell my story through art.
