Help Kiana attend school and get licensed

Donation protected
Hello everyone, my name is Kiana and im 22 years old . I am reaching out for help so that i can finally attend school, start my future and become a licensed nail technician . As you all know life is a bit hard when your completely independent, not only for me but for most people and especially how the world is right now .
 I am currently head of my household; its me, my mom and my dad. Ive been taking care of myself and my parents since i was 16, they are both disabled and unable to work. Therefore i haven’t been able to go to college or anything, I’ve always had two jobs so that i can help with bills but now that my brother has moved back in town he is able to help my parents a bit so that i can go to school . I am really eager to get licensed for nails but i do not have the funds nor does my family . Ive been practicing on myself, my friends and family since covid started so about 3 years and I absolutely love it ! Ive thought about this a lot and this is definitely what i want to do as a career ! Ive always been artistic and doing nails really helps me be creative and its also very therapeutic for me . Unfortunately financial aid will not cover the cost because its only 100 hours of school . I also do not qualify for most scholarships, even if i do it wont be enough so everything will have to come out of pocket but thats very hard for me right now. My entire family is unable to help, i am completely on my own . Im asking everyone from the bottom of heart to please help with what you can . Please help me take the first step to accomplishing my dreams and to better my future for not only me but to also be able to continue helping my parents without any worries . If you cannot donate I completely understand, just please share this with your friends and family . I appreciate you reading my story ! Any donation will be greatly appreciated, thank you .
