Mom of 2 recently moved to the area to escape domestic violence. She has been working hard at making a better life for her children by attending classes in the medical field in order to find a higher paying job. Yesterday, she graduated from her courses and was named class valedictorian. She has completed all requirements for phlebotomy but doesn't have the funds to pay for the testing fee. The amount is $129 and can be paid directly to Treasure Coast Technical College. Attaining this certification in phlebotomy will increase her chances at being hired and guarantee a higher wage.
