How Backers are protected
14-day review per milestone
When proof is posted, each Backer has 14 days to release their share or ask for more. Money not released in time goes back to the Backer.
15% fee, deducted — never added
Backers pay exactly what they choose. The 15% fee comes out of each backing: €100 gives the Dreamer €85. The fee is kept if money is returned.
Gifts, not shares
Backings are gifts. No shares, equity, interest or repayment, and Dreamers keep full ownership. Nothing on cohero is an investment or a loan.
Risks to plan for
- R1
Placement dates can move
Clinical placement dates or locations may change during the course. Separate placement costs by term and allow room in the travel budget for a revised route or schedule.
- R2
Required supplies vary
A placement may require different uniforms or equipment from classroom study. Confirm supply lists before purchase and attach the relevant list to each materials milestone.
- R3
Study reduces paid hours
Classes and clinical shifts can reduce time available for paid work. Map essential living costs to each training block rather than assuming the same work schedule all year.
Questions and answers
What proof can I share without revealing patient details?
Use tuition receipts, required supply invoices and course attendance records with personal details hidden. Never post patient notes or clinical images; Backers need evidence of the funded step, not access to patient care.
Who can fund a nursing school dream in Madrid?
Anyone with a clear goal, honest milestones and the proof to show for them. Every dream is reviewed before it goes live to keep the feed safe for Backers.
Can my goal include travel to clinical placements?
Yes. Explain which placement journeys the goal covers and show how you estimated them. Use travel receipts or a redacted journey log as proof, without exposing patient information or confidential placement records.
