The story behind this campaign

Diva Training Institute Inc. is a NYS-licensed private career school in Lynbrook, NY dedicated to providing affordable, high-quality CNA training to people who want to enter the healthcare field. Our 4-week program is priced at $993 all-inclusive — one of the most affordable options in the New York area — but for many aspiring students, even that cost can be a barrier.

Our GoFundMe campaign raises funds for our training school, supporting Dr. Susan's goal of establishing adult trade career training programs. As a breast cancer survivor, Dr. Susan wants more adults to gain skills and start new careers. Every contribution, large or small, helps turn a survivor's goal into a second chance for someone else.
