Impact

“It is hard to put into words how thankful I am to be granted this scholarship. Unfortunately this past summer I fell and broke my ankle which resulted in me needing surgery to place a plate and pins. Due to the severity of the injury and the surgery, I have been unable to put any weight on my foot all summer and therefore unable to work. The stress that this has placed on me felt insurmountable. Thanks to your most generous donation, a large weight has been lifted off my chest and I can head into this semester with a more open mind and in a better mentality. Thank you for helping me achieve my dreams of becoming a nurse.” – Olivia Schultz
