Yolanda Ahiable

Hi, I'm Yolanda, and this year I graduated from my university with a degree in Biology. This was very exciting for me because, during my entire senior year, I was thinking about how immediately after graduating, I could either enter one last paid internship that might get me a good amount to put toward the new life I would be starting or land a great starter job to get back to working. Now, with the way life is funny sometimes, it's months later, and unfortunately, not a single one of the 50+ jobs got back to me, nor did I manage to land an internship despite making it far in the process. The only type of work I have had access to so far is the baking business I hope to take off one day, but the process of starting a business with little to no starter funds is quite the challenge. I will continue to do what I can to make my baking lucrative but unfortunately I still owe rent every month so I cannot rely on this. I decided that if I can't clock in hours, then at the very least I could go back to school and be the student I know how to be and earn a certificate in Surgical Technology to guarantee that I will be able to work again. Apart from that, I honestly am in the worst debt I have ever been in because during my senior year my mom was also having a hard time with our payment plan, so I just decided to use my credit card and didn't want to worry her about paying me back since we were both in it together. All proceeds would go toward my current school tuition, the student loans that start in November, and the debt accrued this year. Prayers and encouragement truly do weigh just as much in my mind, so whatever you are able to contribute is not taken lightly, and I truly thank you.

My name is Yolanda Ahiable and I graduated from Lincoln University May 2026 with a degree in Biology. Honestly, I never thought life after graduation would be the way it is right now but I'm in deep debt because the last few months of school my mother was also having a hard time helping to pay school fees so I used my credit card not wanting to be paid back because we're in it together. I also thought I'd manage to land one of the 50 plus jobs I applied for and I am still applying for or one last internship, however I have not been able to. I have currently been trying to at the very least put that restless energy into my own baking business, however ingredients are expensive and to be quite frank it's intimidating trying to put my all into myself when all my life I have had the security of working overtime and pulling doubles and overnight shifts for the income I needed and putting it into something brand new that I am solely responsible for. I am a worker by nature, and I'm also an aspiring Dermatologist. When the time is right I do plan to attend medical school, for the time being I am enrolled for a surgical tech program because well if I can't get hired, I have to do what I know how to, which is be a student and bake of course. I created this gofundme because honestly I have a big problem reaching out for help, especially with financial issues because I am so used to and I much prefer being able to be a resource for others but now that all I have to offer other people is prayers and service I must admit, I do need help. My student loan repayments are coming up in November, my credit card has reached zero for the first time and I do have monthly rent payments which is fortunately discounted because I live with my best friend under her parents roof. I must say I am grateful to God that this time around I am not homeless because I experienced that from about 2019 to 2022. I appreciate every penny from the bottom of my heart and I don't take it lightly. May the good Lord bless you all and regardless of all the burdens currently on my plate the peace that surpasses all understanding is with me so if you do come across this, your prayer is greatly received as well.
