    My biggest challenge while studying is making ends meet financially. The scholarship covered my transport to go to school, paid my bills while undergoing placement, and paid for needed schoolbooks which I could not afford. I would like to express my warmest thank you to the donors who help fund my scholarship. I hope that in the near future, I can make a positive difference in the lives of our elderly.

    The Resthaven [Undergraduate Indigenous Nursing] Scholarship made it possible for me to support my family while I studied.
    I would like to thank the donors so much for this support which is helping me finish my degree. I appreciate this so much. I intend to make big positive changes in the healthcare received by all individuals.
