Dear Kind-hearted Supporters,

My name is Momar Ba, a devoted husband and father to five wonderful children aged 17, 14, 9 (twins), and 8. Originally from Ivory Coast and raised in Senegal, I arrived in the United States in 2002, driven by the pursuit of the American dream. From 2007 to 2011, I pursued nursing studies at Lakeland Community College in Kirtland, Ohio. However, in 2010, while preparing immigration documents to reunite my wife and two eldest children with me, I faced significant financial and time constraints. Balancing part-time work with rigorous clinical studies led to academic setbacks, causing me to halt my education.

In November 2012, my family joined me, and I took on two jobs to secure suitable housing beyond our initial small studio. My wife, limited by language barriers and lack of formal education, contributes by occasionally offering hairdressing services. Currently, I am employed as a Level 2 Operator at Swagelok.

• Despite our combined efforts, managing the mortgage, daily expenses, and credit card debts has made it nearly impossible to address my outstanding student loan, which now totals approximately $66,604.80, including $14,238 in unpaid accrued interest as of January 19, 2015.

  Our children express a deep desire to visit our homeland, a wish we are unable to fulfill due to our financial constraints. With the ongoing challenges of inflation and rising living costs, we find ourselves in a difficult situation. We humbly seek your generosity to help us overcome this financial hurdle, allowing us to stabilize our finances and provide better opportunities for our children. Your understanding and support mean the world to us.

  Thank you sincerely for considering our request.

  Warm regards,

  Momar Ba

As a parent, there’s nothing more rewarding than seeing your child chase their dreams and pursue their education. Yet, with that joy often comes an unexpected burden. My name is Chris Gonzales, and I’m reaching out to share my story in hopes of finding support to help me raise $28,000 for my Parent PLUS loans. I took out Parent PLUS loans, believing that investing in their education would open doors to a brighter future. I wanted to support their dreams wholeheartedly, but I had not fully anticipated the financial strain that this decision would place on our family.
Over the past few years, despite trying my best to manage the payments, the burden has grown heavier. Interest rates have made it challenging to keep up, and unexpected expenses have left us in a difficult position. As a result, I find myself at a crossroads, feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about how to move forward.
The total of $35,000 feels intimidating, and while I have been committed to my child’s education, I now realize that I can’t carry this financial load alone. My hope is to raise this amount to alleviate some of the stress and allow us to focus on what truly matters—supporting my child as they strive for their goals without the cloud of debt hanging over us.
If you are able to contribute, share my story, or offer any resources or advice, it would mean the world to me and my family. Every bit of support will bring us one step closer to relieving this burden and creating a stable foundation for my child’s future.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Together, we can make a difference, and I am forever grateful for your kindness and generosity in these challenging times. https://paypal.me/Strang1Around

Dear to whomever reads this

Am a partially disabled veteran who’s been STRUGGLING to push for 100% disability that would have granted me student loan forgiveness.

Toxic relations ‘threatened’ me to “quit” a good job & go back to college only for “their” benefit. Only to end up with being ‘shamed’, in debt, & surviving on ‘paycheck to paycheck’ dead end jobs.

Current student loan debt’s around $30k, down from around $140k from paying $110k with my VA Home Loan in order to re-finance my mortgage <2 years ago. Now THAT entire VA Home Loan payout ($170k) became my new mortgage balance.

Was previously paying extra principal until laid off from work July 2024 (now, Jan 2025 & still job hunting).

Didn’t qualify for the “Art Institutes” debt forgiveness due to “when” I enrolled.

Deeply fear next POTUS admin changes/cuts to such student loan debt relief programs.

Only income’s VA disability which pays mortgage & HOA alone, for now, both increase ever so often.

This holiday season, I’m reaching out to ask for your kindness and generosity to help me take a significant step toward financial freedom. Like many others, I’ve been working hard to build a better future, but the weight of $20,000 in student loan debt has been holding me back from achieving my goals.

I dream of owning a home—a place to call my own and begin building a life that feels secure and stable. However, student loans have made it difficult to save and plan for the future. Every month, I watch a significant portion of my income go toward these payments, leaving little room for growth, emergencies, or the chance to invest in my dreams.

As the year comes to a close, I’m hopeful that the season of giving might bring a little light into my life. I know times are tough for many, but I also believe in the power of community and the kindness of strangers. If 1,000 people donated just $20, I’d reach my goal in no time.

Paying off this debt would mean so much more than just a zero balance. It would mean freedom to start fresh, the ability to save for a down payment on a home, and the chance to finally feel like I’m moving forward instead of treading water. Your help would allow me to focus on building a stable and secure future.

If you’re able to contribute, even a small amount, I’d be forever grateful. Every little bit truly makes a difference, and if you can’t give right now, I completely understand. Sharing this post with others who might be willing to help would also mean the world to me.

This is a vulnerable ask, and it’s not something I take lightly. It’s humbling to reach out, but I know that the holiday season is about hope, kindness, and the belief that we can all help each other in some way.

Thank you for taking the time to read this, and if you’re able to contribute, you can do so here: PayPal: @faedrasilv

Wishing you and your loved ones a joyful holiday season filled with warmth and peace.

Hi there,

I’m autistic and I’ve been bad with money becuz I was never taught how to use it properly. I have a total of $12,000 in debt with credit cars and mini loans. I’ve worked 3 jobs and burnt out, but I feel like I’ve learned how and I just want a chance to start over with no strings attached.

I really want to start over because learning how to be independent is tough and if I am ever gonna move out I’m gonna need to do something about my debt. Because unless I work and pay the minimum along with monthly bills and gas, I have meds to think about and I have been working really hard. And I’ve been praying too! I know God isn’t like a magic wand and I’ve been trying to work and be good but He hasn’t provided the $12K I need to pay everything off and start over again. Maybe you’re the answer to my prayers!

Dear Valued and Generous  Supporter,

Greetings, my name is Liala, and I am a dedicated student facing significant financial challenges as I strive to achieve my academic goals. The separation of my parents has left my mother solely responsible for our household, including the care of my younger sibling, and as the first born I have taken on the responsibility of contributing to our household expenses. This whole shift in our lives has really caused my mother’s health to deteriorate but she keeps pushing inorder to provide for both of us. I am committed to my studies, but the burden of student debt and the lack of reliable transportation pose significant challenges especially in the town we live in. I work part-time to help with household expenses, but it is not enough to cover my educational costs and other necessities.

I am asking for your help to lighten this load. Your generous donation can make a world of difference in my life. It will allow me to pay off a portion of my student debt, secure and acquire a car and focus more on my studies and supporting my family. Every contribution, no matter how small, brings me one step closer to my goals and helps relieve the financial pressure on my mother.

Thank you for considering my cause and for any support you can provide.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Liala.

• Hello my name is Vincent I am 28 years old I just got my CDL was recently terminated from a truck company that was wrongfully treating me and have student loans I owe and having trouble finding a new company because of this situation and was hoping I could get help as soon as possible thanks!

TL/DR; Student loan and truck payment relief.

Hello, I’ve been living by myself for a few years now in an apartment. All my family lives out of state and is currently unable to assist me. I had money saved up about 2 years ago, but then I had a financial setback. I want to save up money to buy a house and start saving/investing again, but I’m slogging to pay my debt. Additionally, living on one income is difficult. I already work a large amount of overtime, and it feels like I am stuck. The truck is a pickup I bought brand new because I lived alone and needed reliability, but I bought the cheapest thing I could find in many locations. I’ve bought used vehicles in the past to avoid a payment and usually ended up with somebody else’s problem. I used to have a brand new car paid off, but it cost me thousands due to design flaws and more money in what followed. I’m a bit of a minimalist, and I’ve scrapped many wasteful expenses. My apartment lease expires in 8 months. I have a roommate now, but I still won’t have enough to get out of this hole soon with debt.

Between student loans and my truck, it’s about $29,900. I’ve brainstormed endlessly to figure out how to get out of this hole. Any help is appreciated.

Dear Donor,

I am reaching out today not just as a recent graduate but as a passionate mother, a survivor, and a person who has overcome significant challenges to achieve a dream. I recently earned my Doctorate in Business Administration, specializing in Public Administration—a milestone that represents not only my dedication to education but also my commitment to building a better future for my children and myself.

In 2020, I made the courageous decision to leave a 10-year abusive marriage. This was not just a decision for myself but a pivotal moment for my children, as I wanted them to witness a mother who is strong, happy, and thriving. It has been four years since that transformative choice, and while the journey has been challenging, it has also been filled with growth and newfound hope. I am proud to say that I have dedicated myself to self-improvement through therapy, which has helped me regain my confidence. Along the way, I met the love of my life, received a promotion at work, and found a more suitable home for my family, all of which have contributed to our collective happiness.

Despite these achievements, I am still grappling with the weight of my $85,000 student loans. The stress of financial burdens looms large in my daily life. As a single mother, I must navigate the high cost of living, rent, and everyday expenses while also trying to repay my loans. This has become an overwhelming challenge that affects my peace of mind and, in turn, my ability to focus on my career and family.

My doctorate was a personal goal that I worked incredibly hard to achieve, and I am immensely proud of it. However, the stress associated with my student loans is becoming increasingly difficult to manage. Any assistance or support towards repaying these loans would not only alleviate a significant burden but also empower me to continue pursuing my professional aspirations and maintain the stability my children deserve.

I am fully committed to my journey and to providing a better life for my kids. With your help, I can continue to build on the progress I have made and focus on creating a nurturing environment where they can flourish. Thank you for considering my request. Your support could change my life and the lives of my children for the better.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Amber Green
