Asking for help isn’t something that comes easily to me, but I’ve reached a point in my journey where I’m putting my pride aside because finishing my education means too much to me—and to the future I’m trying to build for my family.

I took a leap of faith and went back to school to pursue my dream of becoming a licensed esthetician. What started as an interest in the beauty industry has turned into something I genuinely love. Throughout school, I’ve learned skincare, facials, waxing, lash extensions, lash lifts and tints, brow services, and so much more. More importantly, I’ve discovered a career that I can truly see myself building a future in.

I’m also a mom, and everything I’m working toward is bigger than just me. I want my children to see that it’s never too late to chase a dream, work hard for something you believe in, and create a better future for yourself. I want to build a career that allows me to provide for my family while doing something I’m genuinely passionate about.

Unfortunately, the financial side of completing my education has become difficult, and I’m asking for help getting across the finish line. Donations from this fundraiser will go toward my remaining education-related expenses and the costs necessary for me to complete school and move forward into my career.

I’ve already put so much time, work, and heart into getting this far. I’m not asking anyone to build my future for me—I’m simply asking for a little help reaching the point where I can continue building it myself.

Every single donation matters. Whether it’s $5, $10, $20, or more, it brings me one step closer to finishing school and beginning the career I’ve worked so hard for.

And if you’re unable to donate, sharing my fundraiser would mean just as much to me. You never know whose share might help this reach someone willing to support my journey.

To everyone who donates, shares, encourages me, has supported me throughout school, or has trusted me while I’ve been learning and perfecting my craft— thank you. I truly don’t take any of it for granted.

I’m ready to finish what I started, become a licensed esthetician, continue growing Rare Gem Esthetics , and create a future that my children and I can be proud of. 

Thank you for believing in me and helping me get one step closer to my dream.
