Help Me Stay in School and Finish My Dream of Becoming a Veterinary Technician

Hi everyone,

My name is Shantell, and I’m reaching out because I’m facing one of the hardest moments in my educational journey.

I am currently enrolled in a veterinary technician program, working toward a career that has been my dream for years. I already work in the veterinary field, caring for animals every day, and I’m passionate about continuing my education so I can become a Registered Veterinary Technician and provide even better care to the pets and families who depend on us.

Like many families, we’ve been hit with unexpected financial challenges. Despite working hard and doing everything I can to keep up with my responsibilities, I’ve fallen behind on my school tuition. Right now, I need $5000 to catch up on my payments and remain in my program.

As a mom of two young children, balancing work, family, and school has been challenging, but I haven’t given up. Every late night studying and every shift I work is an investment in creating a more stable future for my family. Finishing school will open the door to better career opportunities, increased financial stability, and the ability to continue doing what I love—helping animals.

If you’re able to donate, no matter the amount, it would mean more than I can express. Every dollar brings me one step closer to staying enrolled and reaching the finish line.

If you’re unable to contribute financially, sharing my fundraiser with your friends and family would help tremendously.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, for your kindness, your encouragement, and for believing in my dream. Your support truly means the world to me, and I hope to one day pay this kindness forward by helping others the way you’ve helped me.

With gratitude,

Shantell
