Fundraising Corner!

Hello Family and Friends!
This post is really because, and to be blunt about it, I need your money…again! I appreciate all of the brave souls who donated to me before I even started school, without a shread of evidence that I would finish. That took trust and confidence in me, and thanks to your investment in me and my future, I’ve been able to get through the first half of school with the original $7000 raised back in 2008-2009.

Now I need you all again. I need about $6000 to finance my last 3 years of school. This is about $2000 a year, including the airfare to and from the US once a year. I need to come home each year to complete board exams and internships each summer, which is why it is included. As most of you know, I cannot apply for financial aid so you all ARE my financial aid to get through this, and I pray that you will be kind enough to show your support with anything you can.

Without financial support I will not be able to return to Cuba to start my 4th year, and will be forced to take time off to earn funding to complete my education. I don't want to take time off, but it's a very real possiblity if I am not able to raise at the minimum the funds necessary to finance my 4th year. Seriously, anything you can
do is greatly appreciated and all proceeds will be used to continue my path to becoming a doctor.

Donations can be sent in check or money order to Nimeka Dupree, PO Box 1743, Rialto, CA 92377. I will be leaving at the end of September, so please send donations by September 20, 2012. Thank you all for helping me in my journey to change statistics and change the world by becoming a revolutionary doctor. I would not be able to do it without you!

Love and Blessings!
Meka
