🚨 The Victory is Real! Next Stop: The Interview 🐺✨

It's really, really official now! I am Joan Elizabeth Burgos, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), License No. PC019845 (see attached LICENSE).

The Next Step: Because the universe moves fast, I have already notified the recruiter at my dream job—UPMC Western Psychiatric—and I have an interview with the Program Manager this coming Wednesday, January 14th.

While the license is secured, I still face the literal "cost of movement." This interview is in Wexford, PA, which is roughly 20 miles north of my current location.

The Reality: Public transit to Wexford involves a 2+ hour commute each way and walking along highway shoulders.

The Need: To arrive safe, professional, and ready to secure this career, I need to navigate these final onboarding logistics and transportation costs (Lyfts to hospitals, transit passes, and survival until that first paycheck).

Whether you gave $5 or $400, you are the reason I am still in this fight. I am so close I can taste the stable, independent life ahead of me. If you can help me cross this final gap for transit and survival, I can finally stop surviving and start building.

Joan "Ellis" Burgos, MA, LPC 😊
