As a single mom, I knew that to create a better future for my children, I had to invest in my education. The Education Fund gave me the opportunity to upskill and transition into an LPN role, which was a game changer for me and my family. Along with the training, the wage replacement benefits were a crucial part of my success — they allowed me to focus on my studies and gain the skills I needed without worrying about losing income. With the support of these benefits, I was able to work and continue my education at the same time, ensuring I could provide for my family while building a career in healthcare. The Education Fund has been a lifeline for working parents like me, helping us achieve our goals and secure a better future.
