A PT Assistant Student almost at the finish line!
Donation protected
Hi everyone,
My name is Shametrashun Walker. I am a mother of an 8-year-old son. It is difficult for me to ask for financial support, but I am in dire need of assistance if you can help. I really do not know where to begin so I will give you a back story of how I got to this position. For the past year, I have commuted from Ruston, LA to Shreveport, LA (2 hours total) to work a full-time job as a Fitness Instructor and a part-time job as a physical therapy technician to make ends meet with bills and to also pursue a career in physical therapy as a Physical Therapist in the future.
After working two jobs daily for the past year, I was faced with the opportunity to further my education at Bossier Parish Community College this year in June 2022. I took the necessary steps and progressed to the interview stage and I got accepted into their competitive accredited Physical Therapist Assistant (PTA) Program. It is an accelerated 13-month program, and I will graduate in July 2023.
By accepting this offer, I knew I had to sacrifice my day jobs and become a full-time student to place myself in a better financial situation for the future. I knew I would face challenges, but many things do not always go as hoped. My ultimate goal is to become financially stable for my son and myself by taking this first step.
My dreams are fueled by perseverance and passion for assisting individuals in improving their range of motion and function to continue with their well-being.
In the future, I plan to become a Doctor of Physical Therapy with a concentration in neurological conditions and geriatrics by enrolling in the University of Texas Medical Branch-Bridge PTA to DPT program in Galveston, Texas. Currently, the only thing hindering my growth is debt from past due and current bills. During the first four to five months, I lived off of my savings, my last paychecks, and a scholarship from the school. I even worked odd jobs like DoorDash to make ends meet.
I am asking for financial support to help with my debt as I cannot afford to do it alone or with odd jobs. Feel free to message me if you want to know more details of the bills. If you can donate anything, I am very appreciative of your helping hand in my financial situation. Anything helps. If you can please share this with anyone who can help, I would be so grateful.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for any support, love, and prayers.
