Please help with tuition for nursing school

Hi, my name is Kedric Hubbert. I live in Palm Springs. After years of debating this course of action, I decided to take the plunge, at 52 years old, and go forward with my dream of being part of the medical industry. I have decided to pursue this by taking a certification class to become a CNA (certified nursing assistant). I've already been accepted into a program beginning in February. Unfortunately, after I filled in all the paperwork for financial aid, I was told it is not provided for courses under $10,000. My course tuition is $3000 and must be paid before my classes begin on 3 February 2023. My current employer informed me that for me to go to school, they have to cut my days down to 2 days a week from 4. Since my income will be cut in half, I need the help of generous individuals and businesses in my community who want me to succeed. This will be an amazing next phase of my professional life that I have wanted since before the pandemic of 2020. All the funds collected will go right to the school I'm going to, which is the Certified Nurses Education Institute (CNEI) in Palm Springs. My goal is $3000 which will cover my tuition. I will give a progress report as things change and move forward. This is not an easy thing for me to ask for help in this manner. I know that nothing happens until you put one foot in front of the other and ask for help! Thank you for taking the time to read this and any assistance is greatly appreciated!

Sincerely,

Kedric B. Hubbert
