Patchogue GoFundMe Looks To Finish Man's Education

Campaign is 41 percent to goal as of this writing.

A Patchogue GoFundMe is looking to help fund a man returning to school so he can change careers.

Ryan Francis writes in his campaign that he spent years in construction, and it has taken a toll on his body.

"I have decided to go back to school to get certified towards house inspection so I can give my body a break from the hard labor I have endured over all the years," Francis said.

He said he has paid for his course and passed a certification test, and now needs to get a program and an iPad to finish the course.

The campaign has raised $930 of a $2,300 goal as of this writing.
