“The Sarah M. Hughes Endowed Scholarship in Pediatric Oncology Nursing has eased the financial burden of nursing school, allowing me to focus fully on my education and advocacy work while balancing family responsibilities. It's a gift that enables me to engage deeply in my program and remain present for my children. If I could thank the donors, I'd share my immense gratitude for their support and the opportunity they've given me to pursue my dreams of creating systemic change in healthcare.”
