Jaiyana’s Dream #1
Jaiyana is dreaming of becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant and needs support with the final steps toward earning her certification. She has already completed her CNA program and is now preparing to take her state exam. She needs assistance covering the state exam fees, a professional CNA uniform and compatible laptop to complete the required online testing to help her begin her career with confidence. The older laptop she previously had did not meet the testing requirements, creating an unexpected barrier just as she is so close to reaching her goal.
Jaiyana has spent much of her life navigating challenges independently. She entered foster care at just two years old and remained in the system until age 21. Since leaving care, she has worked hard to support herself, maintain stability, and build a future she can be proud of. She currently works full time at a childcare center while preparing to take her next step into the healthcare field.
Becoming a CNA is an important first step toward Jaiyana’s larger dream of becoming a nurse and eventually a CRNA. She wants to build a meaningful career centered on caring for others and making a difference in patients’ lives. In the future, she also hopes to create independent living homes where people can find safe housing, support, and guidance as they learn to navigate life on their own.
Jaiyana describes herself as funny and determined, and she is especially proud of earning her GED despite the obstacles she has faced. She refuses to let her past define her future. Supporting Jaiyana now would help remove the final financial and practical barriers between her and her CNA certification, providing the exam fee, uniform and laptop she needs to move forward. For Jaiyana, this support would mean more than simply having the right tools—it would give her the opportunity to finally step into the healthcare career she has worked so hard to achieve and begin building the stable, meaningful future she envisions.
