“I lost my job one day after Christmas and have not been able to work due to the rigorous schedule of the ABS program. I am the sole provider for my 5-year-old son and resorted to selling my personal belongings to afford essentials.”
— UB Nursing Student [statement was edited for length]
Thanks to the Julia Buscaglia Student Emergency Fund, this student was able to stay in school and continue working toward her degree. Another student, whose car and laptop were stolen, received support from the fund to replace her laptop and successfully finish her semester.
These stories are just a glimpse of the impact you can have. Every contribution ensures that UB Nursing students facing unforeseen hardships can remain focused on their education and future.
If you are in a position to help, please consider making a gift to the Julia Buscaglia Student Emergency Fund. Your generosity provides hope, stability, and the means for our students to persevere in the face of adversity.

On behalf of your entire UB family, thank you for your unwavering support of our students.
