🗨️ "As a mom who made the decision to leave her full-time job to focus on a new career opportunity as a nurse, the assistance I received from The Research Foundation was invaluable. The Nursing Student Emergency Fund bridged a financial gap during a difficult month. It allowed my children and I to grocery shop without worry and provided a month’s worth of gas. I appreciate donors who support The Research Foundation!"

"I became a nurse because of two personal experiences. The first experience was when my younger brother had a compound leg fracture and was life flighted from our rural town to Children's Mercy. His long recovery and many doctors’ appointments first piqued my interest in the medical field.

The second experience was when I was 16, my father was diagnosed with an aortic aneurysm. During the open heart procedure, the surgeon brought out my dad's tricuspid valve to show us. That experience really drew me into wanting to work in the operating room. I love being the advocate for my patients during procedures when they are asleep and unable to advocate for themselves. This is why I am a nurse."
