About this fundraiser

Heyyyy, if you don't know who I am, my name is Lacey. I'd like to tell you the back story on why I'm going back to school and asking for help. I don't like asking for help but here I am. I am trying to get my barber license. I did go to barber school in Baltimore in 2005. I did very well with cutting hair but unfortunately the book work was hard on me beings I do have  learning disabilities. I did graduate from barber school and took both test. The particle and the theory.  I passed the practical ( haircut, shave, perm) but I failed the theory ( written test).

I continued trying to past the written part not once or twice or even 10 times but I ended up trying to pass and gave up after 23 times. Within those times of trying to pass, I had gotten tutors and went to the BarberBoard and got combinations and unfortunately I still failed.

I gave up completely! Barbering was something I was very good at and was able to work at a shop with a short term letter from the board to work while trying to pass the test. I made a lot of money and loved what I did.  Now, that I'm a mom of a 14 year old I'm ready to get back into trying again, 14 years later. I went through all the steps to apply for the barber school here in NC and was awarded financial assistance but it's not enough to cover all of it. So, I am asking to help me cover the rest of the schooling, $3,000.

I'm embarrassed to even do one of these things but I'm going to be 40 in January and this is how I want to go into my 40's.

It is a 16 week class. I will start January for the spring class.

I appreciate the time you are taking to read this and if you can donate anything it would be amazing to help me achieve my chance to get my license and to do my dream job as a barber.

 I have made a new cashapp solely for this.
