My name is Devin Johnson, a 29-years-old from the vibrant city of Chicago with a humble plea for assistance to help rebuild my life after facing unimaginable challenges. My life took an unexpected turn when, while Serving in the United States Navy and studying at Tuskegee University, I was forced medically discharged due to a traumatic incident of sexual assault that left me not only emotionally scarred but also battling the harsh realities of living with HIV, this also forced me to have to drop out of school due to my mental health, being diagnosed with PTSD, and no longer having a means to pay for college. The aftermath of these events led me down a dark path, filled with thoughts of suicide, drug abuse, and a constant struggle with mental health issues.

Through sheer determination and the support of loved ones, I managed to find my way to recovery. I successfully completed rehab and emerged with a newfound strength to confront the challenges that lay ahead. However, the rising costs of mental health treatment and medication have become insurmountable barriers to my progress. Just recently, I faced the heart-wrenching decision of choosing between paying for life-saving medication or retaining my means of transportation to work. The consequence was the repossession of my car, plunging me into a deep depression.  Although, My dream of becoming a father and completing college felt as though it was unfairly taken away from me by someone who had no regard for my well-being, I still have hope, and as hard as this is for me I am desperately asking for assistance and putting aside my pride.

I am asking, not just as a plea for financial assistance, but for a chance at redemption and a renewed sense of purpose. My goal is to raise $50,000 to cover the costs of mental health treatment, medication, my first semester in school (I was recently accepted into the Los Angeles film school to study audio production) and the necessary steps to continue getting back on my feet.

Your investment will not only help me regain stability but will also contribute to breaking the cycle of struggle that has plagued my life. I envision building a business that not only sustains me but also supports my family and, one day, allows me to fulfill my dream of becoming a loving and responsible father. I understand the gravity of my request, and I approach you with the utmost respect. Your support is not just a financial contribution; it is a lifeline that will help restore hope, dignity, and purpose to a life that has weathered immense storms.

I seek not only financial support but also your emotional investment in the possibility of a brighter future. Every donation, no matter the size, is a step toward rebuilding a life that was nearly shattered. I humbly ask you to consider being a part of this journey by contributing whatever you possibly can. Your generosity will not only change my life but will have a ripple effect on the lives of those connected to mine. Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for considering being a part my journey to rebuild.

With sincere gratitude,

Devin Johnson

I am seeking financial assistance to go back to school… not just college, which I recently applied to, but also for a short intensive training program that will allow me to move up in my job and earn a higher salary while I am finishing my degree.

I am a 45 year old single mom of one wonderful boy. While I am very aware of my many blessings, there were aspects of my life that were always frustrating to me. From a very young age, I was considered “highly intelligent”, testing at high levels, reading well above age range, etc.… but it really didn’t help me much, because I wasn’t very productive. I didn’t finish assignments, couldn’t pay attention in class, and had a hard time seeing long term things through. This pattern followed me into my young adulthood, where I started and quit community college, then acting school. I’ve always worked, but frustrated both myself and the people who believed in me by never living up to the potential we could all sense. I eventually finished an occupational therapy program and became licensed as a a massage therapist in the state of New York, and while I was always able to work steadily, I never managed to really focus and follow through with the day-to-day details necessary to launch a successful independent practice, the scheduling, the follow up, the paperwork, etc. This made me feel terrible about myself… yet another skill that I was good at, that wouldn’t lead me to success and stability because I wouldn’t do the things that other adults managed so easily. My son was born, and I left the field of bodywork to take a desk job that offered insurance and a steady schedule. I often thought about returning to school to seek my BA, which would allow me to move up in the organization where I work, but I was too afraid that just like so many other times in my life, I wouldn’t be able to see it through, and all the money and time away from my son would be for nothing.

Everything changed when a trusted teacher recommended that I have my son assessed for Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder. I began to research ADHD, and what I learned changed my life. The symptoms and behaviors described could have been a story about me. All the things that I struggled with, both as a child and to this day were a result not of my being a lazy, careless loser, but a condition that was treatable! I began behavioral therapy to learn how to navigate self–defeating behaviors and began taking medication. Over time, I saw profound changes in my life. The struggles that were such a source of shame to me-time management, money management, household chores, not to mention managing my workload… things that it seemed to me that other women navigated so easily… became more and more manageable. Work managed in a timely fashion, dinner made on time, laundry done and put away BEFORE we ran out of underwear! I suddenly have time at the end of my day… time on the weekends… and going back to school is now doable.

I can’t help but wonder how different my life would be if I had been classified with ADHD as a child… who knows what I could have accomplished? The fact is, in the 80’s, it was rare for girls to be classified with ADHD, especially since most don’t present with hyperactivity-(I didn’t) rather just “day dreamy”, “lazy”“distracted”and “stubborn”. I’ve made my peace with it, though. I’m grateful that I can address  it now, and most of all, I’m grateful that my son will grow up with the tools and support necessary to navigate his ADHD and be successful at anything he wants.

I really want to go back to school, and I am confident that I am ready, but I cannot pay for it on my own. I am the sole provider for my household, and I haven’t been in the position to accumulate savings. I used to have a second job, but I lost it during the pandemic, and I know that realistically, I can’t navigate a full-time job, a home, a child, and a second job. I have filled out a FAFSA, but I am still paying off student loans from the first time I went to school. I am planning to go back to school to get my BA in Liberal Arts in an accelerated program that also awards credits for real life work experience and work–related trainings. In addition to enrolling in college, I want to take an intensive 6-week course for court interpreters that will allow me to apply for better paying position within my organization. I’m not sure how long it will take me to finish my BA, but I know I’m looking at at least two years, and I can’t wait that long to start making moves and increase my income.

I need $2845.00 for the interpreter course.

My university is $512.00 per credit, from 1-11 credits, or $6713.00 for full time students,  from 12-19 credits.

If you can help me, know that you’ll be making a little family’s life infinitely better, and putting us in a position where hopefully one day, we’ll have the chance to pay it forward. Thank you so much for reading.

I am begging someone to help me to help my grandkids to go to school for tuition fee, He has no Dad due to suicide hang himself now I am the one who is supporting him on almost everything and I am retired no income except SS. And need to support also my family in the Philippines. My grandson need to go to school and need a car to drive anywhere to get a job. PLEASE HELP!

Dear Kind Souls,

I hope that all is well with you. I am a 21 year old student seeking some assistance with tuition costs for the remainder of my year at University. I am currently pursuing a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration with a major in Accounting. To give you a backstory on how I ended up in this predicament, I must start from the year 2020, when I was 17, soon to be 18. In March of 2020, I became very ill. My legs began to swell, and I had a seizure relating to my illness that led to me being in the hospital for two days. After leaving the hospital, I began taking supplements and my body slowly began to heal. At this time, I was completing my A levels in school, and I had to drop out because I was too ill to physically continue schooling. Around June-July of 2020, I was healing slowly, but quite nicely. I began getting more sleep (was having issues with insomnia due to the illness), and everything was good. COVID was still running rampant, and so I was still home throughout my healing process. In August of 2020, my mother told me of an ad she heard on the radio that spoke about a scholarship for persons who had recently graduated highschool to be able to apply for an associate degree. I agreed to apply for it, since it was an online course, and I thought I could manage it despite not being 100% healed as yet. I applied for the Associate Degree, but was met with disappointment when I was made aware that only 2020 graduates (I graduated highschool in 2019) were being offered that scholarship. I was dejected, but decided to just keep my eyes open for any new possibilities. 

In late September of 2020, I was told by my aunt about a company that was hiring work from home workers. I decided to apply for that, and to work and save for my eventual return to school. By October, I was hired and training from home to start the job. I worked and saved until January 2021. In December 2020, the school that I had applied to had reached out to me via email with an opportunity too good to give up. I was offered to  study a Bachelor’s Degree that I could complete schooling for online, and due to my good grades, I was being offered a 50% off scholarship for the first two years and 25% off the final two years. After some discussions with my parents, we decided to go ahead with resigning from my job and starting school in January 2021. Conversations with my doctors had told me not to try juggling both full time working and school from home, as a lot of my issues stemmed from immense stress that I was experiencing in the period, along with genetic illnesses. I was able to pay for my first semester from my savings, and my parents agreed to help me with my payments until the end of my degree. 2021 and 2022 ended like that, and I was doing well in school, maintaining a 3.67 GPA in school.

My first semester in 2023 was completed in April, and this is where the problems started. At the end of April, my father lost his job. While it was a hit to us financially, my mother’s job was able to keep us afloat for a bit. In May, my mother lost her job as well. For 2021 and 2022, I did school for all possible semesters in the year (including summer) without a break. So this time, I decided that I would not do the summer semester, and instead work to help out and save some money for the fall semester. I began applications for a job at the end of May, and did an interview at the beginning of June. By the end of June, my mother and father had both begun working new jobs. We decided that I would remain home for the summer, since the semester had already started, and my younger sister (4) would usually stay home with me (instead of hiring a babysitter).

So by now, the plan is to stay home with my sister (who was home for summer) and continue schooling in September. September rolls around, and the funds for tuition is still not here, as my parents have been working to break even for the two, almost three months that  they were not working for. The third week of September, my father told me that he was working hard to put together my tuition amount, and asked to me seriously consider whether or not I would be able to manage starting school 4 weeks late, and having to catch up with all that content while having regular classes and quizzes. I decided that I could not manage, as I was ending year 3, beginning year 4 and the courses had gotten a lot heavier. We decided that I would apply for another job from home. That way, I could save for the next semester (January 2024), and I would be home when my baby sister came home from school, so they would not have to incur the additional expense of a babysitter. 

I applied for the job in late September. The next day, I got an email requesting documentation and asking when I would be available for an interview. When I sent the information, I was made aware that my ID was expired and that I needed a valid one in order to be considered. In October, I applied and gave fingerprints for an ID. I was told that I would not get the ID until June 2024. Which leads me to where I am now. I do not wish to sit out anymore semesters, and my parents can not afford to assist me. Since I am also unable to get a job, it would be much appreciated if I can get some assistance to be able to pay off my tuition for the next semester. At the current moment, roughly US$32,000 would sufficiently balance off my remaining tuition fees, and the deadline for final payment is February 29th. Thank you in advance for any and all donations. Happy New Year to all.

Hi everyone,

Well,  I am 32 years old, married with two children, veteran.  I have been a stay at home mom for the last four or so years, since my son was born.  Things have not been easy but we have managed.  I experience chronic pain on a daily basis, and I am recently suspecting I may be have ADHD and may be mildly Autistic.  I have to get to a professional to confirm but, it would explain a lot of the things I have been struggling with.  So I suppose I am just here to ask for help.  We have struggled to keep healthy food on the table, pay the utilities and my daughters online school tuition.  We pulled her out of public school to try to protect her from liberalism and the private school nearby is even more expensive than the online school she attends now.  My husband, although I am proud he has turned his life around since being incarcerated,  is diagnosed ODD and ADHD, and does not have the slightest clue how to manage money and is too prideful to accept any help.  My daughter has not been able to attend school for almost two weeks because I have not been able to pay her tuition.  I have borrowed about $390 that I owe from a family member but, I don’t want to have to keep doing that.  I also homeschool my four year old.  I have been doing loads of applications to no avail.  A lot of the times, especially for the work form home jobs, they are scammers.  Hoping I will cash their fake checks or fall for their investment schemes.  For the last few years, I have been trying different entrepreneurial venture.  However, I have not been able to find any success as of yet.

In conclusion,  I am asking for $2000.  $1350 would cover her tuition for the rest of the year, and it would be one less thing I would have to worry about, and then maybe my husband can just focus on the rest of the responsibilities. The remaining $650 I would like to put aside for an investment opportunity.  Maybe purchase some wholesale products to sale.  That way I can start a path for myself to financial freedom.

I am a 21-year-old second-year student with a 3.96 GPA studying Acting and Content Creation in a college in Los Angeles, California. While I am living and studying in America, I am originally from Toronto, Canada, and I am in a severe financial crisis. I need to urgently collect $13,000 US for tuition plus $6000 for rent and groceries, because if I don’t, I will have to drop out of my school, lose my place of residence, and as a result, I will also have to give up on my main aspiration in life. My family and I do not make a rule to resort to begging for financial help, but we left this as a last resort if our problems became truly unmanageable. However, this past year has been absolutely brutal to us, and it has completely ruined my family’s financial state. My mother even had to put up our family house for sale. Unfortunately, a miracle didn’t happen, we didn’t win the lottery, our house did not get sold yet, and my mother’s work and health predicament did not at all improve. Therefore, we had to use this desparate strategy. Let me explain everything that is going on in great detail:

Since my early childhood it was my dream to become an actor, director, producer, and screenwriter. We were well aware that studying and living in Los Angeles was going to be more expensive than in Toronto. Nevertheless, my mom supported my dedication to acting and writing as well as my decision to go to Hollywood to study in the center of the industry. Our decision relied on the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) which we thought would completely cover all of the tuition and living expenses I would face during my time in Los Angeles. It was a huge disappointment to find out that while this financial assistance is available for Canadian students studying abroad, it only covers 25% of all of the tuition payments, and there is nothing left over to cover housing expenses and food. To avoid crushing my dream, my mom took a loan against the equity of our house to pay for tuition. To make matters worse, we had to rent an apartment as the dorms at my school were in poor condition. There were foul-smelling carpets which nearly caused my nose to run faster than my legs out of the rooms, the windows and the walls were broken to the point where I wondered if someone took out anger on them, and finally, the walls along the beds looked like they were painted by an eco-friendly modern Picasso who used mucus and feces as paint. The most insane part is that living in these conditions would have cost me $1200 per month. The rooms were so small to hold even two students, and it looked as if I would pretty much be paying just for a bed. Right before my first year started, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease which made it dangerous for my health for me to be present in such spaces even for a little while. Taking all of this into consideration, and the fact that one of the dorms was actually closed down by the Los Angeles health authorities a year before this situation, my mom had to rent an apartment in an area close to the college and pay 14 months worth of rent and a damage deposit up front because, as Canadian citizens, we had no U.S. credit history and/or place of employment to show. We were not that disappointed because it made much more sense to take this option rather than pay $1200 just for a bed in a tiny and dirty room, especially since I planned to find myself a responsible roommate, and it would’ve cost each of us less than $1000 including utilities and internet to live in a spacious and clean one-bedroom apartment in a decent area within Hollywood. I was faced with yet another surprise as my attempt to get a roommate failed, since the superintendent informed me that it’s against the building’s company policy to have a roommate. Therefore, my mother ended up paying a much greater amount than she expected to pay for tuition and my accommodations. As I mentioned earlier, she covered 75% of my tuition costs and 14 months of my rent during my first year from taking a loan from our house equity. As for the second year, while she planned to take more money out of our house plus some savings to pay for my education and living expenses, I planned to make my own financial contributions by working at my campus which is only allowed after you reach your second year as a student. Unfortunately, all of these plans were shattered as well. Last year’s economical situation and the real estate market caused house prices to go down significantly to the point that there was not enough equity in our house for us to qualify for an equity loan. Prices for essentials (groceries and utilities) skyrocketed causing our savings to disappear. The situation became so bad and unmanageable that my mother had to put the house up for sale. The high interest rates made the mortgage payments impossible for my mother to handle.

I have tried countless times to apply for on-campus jobs at my school (which all pay minimum wage), but there were very few positions to choose from and I didn’t get the ones that I applied for. After failing to get a job at my school, I would’ve turned to job opportunities outside of my school to help me pay for college and for my overall survival in Los Angeles, except I couldn’t do that because I first have to submit multiple forms explaining how my financial situation has gotten worse in order to gain permission to work in America as a non-citizen. I had permission to work in my school since I was a student, and it didn’t matter that I was from a different country. However, finding a job outside of a college in America is not something I’m allowed to do at the moment since I have not yet filed for a work permit as a nonresident. What makes this issue more complicated is that I also have to pay a $410.00 fee to successfully file one of those required work permit forms. So now I’m in a situation where I don’t have money to pay for this application in the first place, but I still need to somehow do this for the sake of finding work in America. If I’m being perfectly honest, even if I found employment in America, the pay would most likely be very small, and I would have to dedicate a lot of hours to it which I don’t have since my school’s gruelling artistic program and subsequent homework assignments prevent me from having any sort of free time (even on weekends) to focus on some other important task.

To make at least some money, I have been taking advantage of scholarship opportunities that my school has told me about. I managed to get $1,000 from one of the contests, and I used it to pay for phone, internet, and elecricity bills, as well as other utilities and groceries. After all of that was taken care of, I was back to my original desperate financial situation.

In conclusion, I would like to once again emphasize that if I don’t gather the money to pay for my studies now, I will have to leave the college and the country altogether. The required amount I previously mentioned in the first paragraph is not the full amount required for the entire academic year. This is just to cover 30% of my tuition and 2 months of rent and groceries because my mother and I believe that our issues related to work load, health, and housing will soon be resolved. 

While I have fallen on very hard times, I am not ashamed to admit that that is the case because I know that things like this happen to the best of us. I plan to become an artist in the fields of acting, directing, and screenwriting in the future, and that is why I look at problems like the one I am currently facing as nothing more than an instance of things becoming a lot worse before they get better. I would greatly appreciate any sort of donation from anyone kind enough to help me and my mother so that we can escape our inconvenient financial predicament and get to work on building better lives! By helping me out in this moment, you are not only doing a favor for a stranger, but you are also supporting that stranger’s journey to one day become something bigger than himself and to change the world of popular culture forever. I promise to return the favor to anyone who chooses to be generous towards me now by helping out other struggling actors and students in need the same way I was helped on this site!

Thank you very much for your assistance and generosity!

Hello,
My name is Teisha Jackson and I am a BSN nursing student at Monroe College in Bronx, NY. My passion to care for patients and provide quality care is what made me pursue nursing. I took out school loans which I was only approved for 75% of the tuition leaving me with a $1,735 balance. I honestly can’t come up with that at the moment as I am a single mother of a 16-year-old struggling with day-to-day life expenses. I have two more semesters and I am projected to finish in August 2024. If anyone is able to assist me please it would mean so much to me. I fear my classes will be dropped soon for an unpaid balance. Any amount of help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Teisha Jackson
