"Thank you for your generosity, which has allowed me to pursue my  degree in accounting.  Caring for a child is costly in itself, but adding a bleeding disorder puts a huge financial strain on a family.  Without your generous donations, I would not have been able to afford to go back to school."

"My long term goal would be to become a Hematologist/Oncologist.  I hope to bring to others my understanding and compassion, and knowledge of life with a bleeding disorder.  At age 3 I was diagnosed with von Willebrand disease.  Without the generous scholarship your organization awarded to me, I do not know if I would have been able to attend the school of my choice.  Your donation to my education will help me to hopefully help others."
