Payton McQuilkin Capstone

Hello my name is Payton McQuilkin. Something that has impacted my life tremendously since a young age has been an addiction. Family members have suffered through this disease and I watched someone I love turn into someone I loathe. I knew since I heard about this project that I wanted to leap helping fight addiction. For my project, I raised as much money as I could by selling tickets for a raffle. This raffle was pierced at $5.00 and had three prizes, including Sixers Tickets, $100.00 cash, and a $50.00 gift card to Chickie and Pete’s. My mentor, Tina Curtin, and I’s plan are to find someone in need and help them. I know there are people out there who have no family, no insurance, no support, they have nothing who need it. My idea was to help them along with their rehab cost, possibly after that with a sober living cost and help. Since COVID-19 I have not been able to donate yet but I am excited to after this is over. We are working on trying to find someone safely at this time, without putting our selves at risk. This experience has helped me become even more passionate about being a nurse. I have love and compassion in my heart for helping people and I can’t wait to get there someday. Linked here is a copy of my bibliography that helped me with gaining all the knowledge for this project. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1us1gaWlrBdVktEsMM25v9nL-AR2J-2k6_KwOh6vRaLo/edit?usp=sharing
