Help me become a nurse practitioner

Hello! I am trying to raise money to go to nurse practitioner school. What is a nurse practitioner? A nurse practitioner is a registered nurse who has additional education that allows him or her to do many of the same things a doctor does but at a much lower cost to the patient and the healthcare system as a whole. Why don't I just get student loans? Well, I already have about US$65,000 in student loans from a past bachelor's degree and a master's degree in social work. I am trying to raise money so I don't have to get more student loans.

I am trying to raise US$20K because I think that is what it will take to pay for tuition, fees, books, etc. for five semesters at between US$3K and US$4K per semester. I will still have to work almost full time to pay rent, buy food, maintain health insurance, car maintenance, etc.

Currently, I work at a pediatric clinic in Del Valle, TX. It is a very poor suburb of Austin. It is about 80-90% Spanish speaking. My Spanish is good and getting better all the time. I love the families that we serve. But we really need more access to mental health services especially for children and adolescents.

I have applied to the UT Health Science Center in San Antonio. It is a great school. There is a lot of interaction with the psychiatry department in the medical school and the medical center is an amazing learning enviroment.

Please, please help me continue my education and help me to help the most vulnerable of the people of Texas.  

Thanks for looking! Please share with everyone!
