Chrissy Teigen helped out an aspiring skin care student by paying for her tuition.
The student, named Mercedes, reached out to her friends and family asking for help in paying for her classes in order to get a license in esthetics.
Chrissy came across Mercedes' post and paid for the remainder of her $5, 605 balance. She left Mercedes a message, "I've seen this be your passion for such a long time now. So excited to see you fulfill your dream!"
Mercedes posted on youcaring.com, a crowdfunding site:
Hey everyone,
If you have followed me on social media or my business pages, you know what my goal is. I wanted to further my skin care knowledge by getting my license in esthetics. The issue is that because of my current job, the only school that I can attend does not have financial aid and the scholarships that I have looked at, you have to already be enrolled in school and/or be half way through to even be eligible so that isn't of much help to me either.
To keep things transparent, I am trying to attend Academy of Nail Technology & Esthetics. The price of the class including tuition, enrollment fee, my kit and books is a total of $5995.
Tuition (600 hours @ $8.50 per hour): $5,100Enrollment Fee: $100Kit and Books: $795TOTAL: $5,995
I need a downpayment of $895 to hold my seat in the class. (That is included in the overall price)
I am asking those of you who if you can, if you can donate anything to me to help fund my schooling. I am trying to attend starting in May so I'm trying to get at least the down payment to start.
I know sometimes there is a stigma for asking for help, but this is a huge dream of mine and I am willing to do whatever I can to make it.
Thank you in advance!
