Hello there,
I am a single mom of a beautiful 18 year old girl. Its been just her and me since she was 9 months old when her father walked out on us and never looked back. The fact that we have made it here is an amazing accomplishment for us. There were many times I wasn’t sure we were going to make it. I’ve worked up to 4 jobs at once to try to make a life for us. I’ve done everything I possibly can for her. Last year in 2023 when she graduated high school I was overwhelmed with joy. The accomplishments we have made and the obstacles we have overcome to reach this point is crazy to think about. So now here we are and she wants to go to college for professional filmmaking. She is super talented in that department. She has won medals in our province here in Canada for her talents. I am so incredibly proud of her and the person she has become. She is not your typical teenager. She doesn’t drink or do drugs. She does not like to party. She has been working full time since graduation trying to make enough to fund her education. I have been doing the same. Stressing about how I can make this work. At this point I am desperate. Which has led me to writing this story. This girl deserves to be able to follow her dreams. I want more for her than having to work 4 jobs to make a life for herself. With the way Canada is going I’m not sure she has any hope to ever own her own home and live comfortably. We are going to be applying for a student loan but I don’t want her thousands of dollars in debt to do so. I am hoping for any little bit of help to get her through this program. I appreciate all of you reading my story and wish you all the health and happiness in the world!
Sincerely,
A mother trying to help my daughter make a life for herself
