“The financial assistance means a lot to me. I am a newish nurse…about a year in at this point. And trying to keep the boat afloat as a single parent of three kids. I’ve been wanting to start working toward certification and getting (this assistance) was a clear sign that I can make it happen with some very generous help!” ~ Elizabeth Ericson
