Dear Donor,

I just want to take the time and thank you for giving me this opportunity. Being a single mother makes affording school more difficult. This award is going to help me tremendously. I am attending nursing school in the fall and had no financial aid to cover my tuition cost. It has been a long-time dream of mine to take care of others and make a difference in my community. Having a degree in nursing will get me closer to reaching such a dream. I have worked long hard hours since I was 16 years old, and this award will help me focus on school more instead of working so much to pay for it. Overall, I am looking forward to this new chapter in my life and will always be grateful to you for investing in my future and believing in me throughout my journey.

Thank you!
