I've dedicated my life to caring for others, but there was a point where I felt like I was drowning. When my husband lost his job unexpectedly, the stress of our household bills became overwhelming. I was working long hours, but the weight of the mortgage, utilities, and daily expenses was almost unbearable. Receiving this grant was a lifeline. It didn't just help with our finances, it gave me the mental space I needed to focus on my patients again. The relief was immense. It allowed me to be a better nurse, a better mom, and honestly, a better person. I'm so grateful for this support, and I can't thank you enough for recognizing the struggles that healthcare workers face outside of the hospital walls.
