College tuition help

Hello! My name is Brianna. I am a college student in the nursing field. I am on here looking for donations to help with tuition and school costs. It has been very difficult the past 2 years going to nursing school, which is like a full time job. I have 2 semesters left before I graduate and I can not explain my excitement. The next two semesters are all online so it’s going to be so different doing it from home but I guess that is the new normal. This semester coming up is around $2000. I have applied for grants through the school but I have not heard anything back. The next semester starts in January but the fees for classes are due December 7th. I am signed up for four classes and two labs to go with it. I will upload a photo of my proposed schedule. I don’t know anything about loans and the faculty at school are not helpful at all. I have been trying to not use more credit cards. I did apply for a scholarship and I did receive $250 to go towards the tuition. I work full time as well at a vet hospital. I’ve worked there for the past five years. But with everything going on recently with the corona virus and hurricane, my hours have gotten cut. It has been tough trying to keep up with everything. I am just so ready and so close to finishing so that I can finally get my first nursing job. I am still not sure what area or specialty I want to go into yet. I have thought about maybe working on a cardiac floor or my dream job as an ER nurse. Last semester I did clinicals on an cardiovascular surgery floor and it was very interesting. The ER would be amazing and so fun to work on but I know I will have to get experience first before working there. I want to continue my education as far as I can. I really don’t want to take a semester off because I know how hard it is to go back. In two semesters hopefully, I will graduate with my bachelors degree in nursing. After that I want to continue school and obtain a masters or doctorate degree as a nurse practitioner. I used to get assistance  for school but it only covered a certain amount of semesters. All of my prerequisites and first semesters of nursing school were covered and now I’m struggling with what to do. I would appreciate the donations greatly. I can not wait to give back in this career field. Anything helps! Thank you so much!

Please Help Me Continue My Education

Hello everyone,

My name is Dinda, I’m currently a 5th-semester film student studying at the New York Film Academy in Los Angeles. I’m originally from Indonesia, and I came to America to chase my dreams – being a filmmaker and be the first woman in my family to obtain a degree.

Many people think that filmmaking is just a means of entertainment. But what many people don’t really realize is the importance of film – how a film can shift someone’s perspective, manipulate someone’s feelings, and educate the ignorant. I truly believe that filmmaking can be a platform for my voice to be heard. I want to spread love and kindness and show that despite our differences, all of us can coexist in a safe and peaceful environment. People seem to hate what they don’t know – so why not make them familiar?

To be honest with you, I’ve been holding off asking for help because I’ve been trying to solve the problem on my own for the past year. But I can’t bear it anymore. When I first moved here, my parents are in good financial condition and has exactly enough to pay for my living costs and school tuition. They own their own advertising company. But in the past year, the business has been slow and they’ve completely cut me off. It’s not that they want to cut me off, it’s because they have to. My dad’s business went to ruins and they barely have anything to eat for themselves. I would get text messages from my mom saying that they’ve only eaten rice and eggs for the past week. When I heard about the difficulties my parents faced, I sold my laptop, I sold everything I have of value and moved to my boyfriend’s parent’s house with him.

Thank God for him because he helped me a lot – and I didn’t want anything for free so I always help him work even though I’m not strong nor qualified. Being an international student here, my options for working are limited. I have to graduate first before I can fully work. I want to move to a cheaper school but I only have one year left until graduation. The faster I graduate, the faster I can work and earn money, and the faster I’ll be able to help out my parents. I want to help them out, I need to, Ms. Winfrey. They’ve tried their best to send their daughter far far away and the least I could do is be successful for them. And I work hard for school, Ms. Winfrey. I received a 4.0 GPA last semester, and an average of 3.69 throughout my studies here. I’ve been on the Dean’s List for the past 3 semesters. I’ve been to a couple of local Indonesian film festivals too. I know I can be a successful filmmaker. I know in my heart I do.

With all that in mind, I guess what I’m asking is can you please help me out? I need to pay my school tuition fees this semester so I can continue my studies and work. The total amount of tuition this semester is 11,1128$. I used all the money I saved up to pay 2,149$ of it, so now the remaining balance is 8,979$. I tried raising money for it but everyone has their own problems and I can’t ask them to help with more. Many kind people in my life have helped me in any way that they can, and I am grateful for them. But truly, I can’t ask them for more.

Please, help me out, and please, help me continue my education.

Christian Entreprenure

To whom it may interest,

 

My name is Ronna Churchill and I am a wife & a mother of 2.

I am beginning a Christian Entrepreneurship with Kingdom Builders. The financial commitment to start the training for this business is around $7,000. The training comes with a mentor, mindset training and a model to follow. The step by step training will allow me to be successful. My issue is that they want a lot of this money upfront as a commitment. I am 2 weeks into my training and am very confident in my ability to succeed. I have already put down a $1,500 payment in order to start my training.

Kingdom builders are real estate “finders”. They help people who are in over their heads on their mortgage, and people who do not wish to sell their homes in a traditional fashion. We help people who inherit property and just want to be rid of it, we give people another option when it comes to selling their home. As a finder I will connect these sellers with people/companies who are ready to buy or lease with the option to buy in cash.  As a finder I will take a small fee for making this connection. There are legalities to learn and a model to follow.

I am requesting this money to help my family survive during this transition. The holidays are coming up and being gifted provisions while I improve my career and educate myself would be a blessing beyond what I could ever dream.

So to the person(s) reading this, I pray that you would see the potential to help a mother looking to better her life and in turn, help the lives of countless others.

As my Kingdom Business grows I plan to donate to those in need, and someday start my own ministry.

Light & Blessings to you & yours,

Ronna Churchill

Funding my dreams

Hi, I’m Alexus Mercedes and I am looking to expand my horizons and create a better future for myself by taking the next big step to become an actress. Performing is my passion, it’s when I feel most at home and happiest. I am hoping that in reading this letter you may find it in your heart to help me in achieving my dreams.
Life has a funny way of testing our limits, unfortunately I have had health problems along with anxiety and depression which has been my challenge. To overcome these challenges I began performing, signing, and acting, mostly on the internet thus far though I have had the pleasure of singing at the Mount Baker theatre here in Bellingham, Wa. Performing has given me a place to escape to, a place of solace where nothing else in the world matters and I can express myself. .
With encouragement and support from those close to me I have decided that I am ready to take this next leap in my acting career, finding an agent. In my search for a good fit I first found that many of the largest talent agencies made me feel like a grain of sand in the desert, with hundreds of clients and little guarantee for work this was clearly not the right place for me. Eventually I found Talent Inc, this agency feels right, they support their talent, they are more personal and they are excited to have me as a client
The agency I am looking at working with holds classes to train their clients about the industry from behind the scenes to the best way to pose for the camera. They provide comprehensive 1-on-1 training with agents, managers, and casting directors on how to handle PR, and auditions, how to take directions and they will help me in refining my skills to adapt them from the stage to the screen. After the classes are completed they will be taking me to attend a talent showcase in Orlando, Florida which brings agents, casting directors, managers and more from all around the world, to scout talent. I am excited for the opportunity this provides as this has been my dream as long as I can remember.
Unfortunately due to Covid and my various health problems it is hard for me to hold a 9-5 job and while my wonderful husband supports us in our everyday finances, this is something I wanted to do on my own. Considering the current economic situation for many people, I understand that it may not be possible for everyone to donate. However, every penny counts and every penny is greatly appreciated. I have set up a go fund me to crowd source the funds I need in order to move forward with this, $4,500 for my classes, travel to and from Orlando, nicer clothes for audition, and to help with some of my doctors bills.

College Student Who Needs Help

 

I am a college student who is in my last year of school and I am really having a hard time. Since Covid-19 hit I have had to move back home with my parents because I was let go from my job and have not been so lucky to find one which works with my hectic schedule. I come from a family who is very down on their luck so asking for money through them is not ideal for me because I am used to be the provider with the scholarship money I have had left over in the past. I am a Biology Major and Psychology Minor who has plans on going to med school to become a Neurosurgeon. I am a very hard-working student and have had to work for all my good grades and scholarships I have received in the past. But this year I was not able to qualify for a particular one which normally helps me and my family out during the school semesters. Going on to med school would be the best gift I can give my parents because I have seen the many sacrifices they have made for my younger siblings and me.

 

Med school pretty steep bill and have already had a couple of programs who has reached out and let me know they will be able to help me through my long 14 years of school. I was not blessed with ample of money and it has really been present with this pandemic still going on. I am asking if anyone can find it in their hearts to help fund my dreams. I have a bill that is due to my school that is still 17,372.00 and I need to have this bill paid before I am able to receive my actual transcript to apply to med school officially. I graduate in early December and have absolutely no idea how I will get that bill paid to apply for early admissions next year. I have tried everything I can think of with trying to earn money, even giving my plasma 7 times a month but that had only made a ripple in the ocean of money I still owe. I understand that I am asking for a lot of money and also understand that it will probably not come from a single person. I just hope a few people see how bright my future is and helps me through this rough time in my life. God bless you all and thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Becoming a mental health counsellor

I am Charlotte, I am 22 years olf and I am writing this as it is my passion to become a counsellor and help people through their own personal mental health journey. Mental health levels have never been so low due to how challenging Covid-19 has been on people, yet it feel as though sometimes it is so difficult to get the support, there just aren’t enough resources to support everyone. I want to be able to change that, to be able to qualify as a counsellor and begin working straight away and know every day that I am trying to help somebody. I have already completed my level two and three courses and worked hard to get a scholarship for my level four-course which I am currently undergoing. However, because I have already completed a degree prior to this I am not eligible to receive any funding for the teaching fees of £900. This is devasting to me, as I chose to study Business with Marketing at the age of 16 and completed my degree with a first-class honours, however, it is only limiting me from my actual dream. I was still young and figuring my way in life at 16 but yet most job roles require a qualification and experience, but yet you are only eligible for one educational decision. I do not regret my degree as it taught me so much, I just wish I was able to use the skills I know in a field that I am so driven to work in. I am trying everything I can possibly think of to be able to complete my education and follow my passion. Anything that anybody could do would be greatly appreciated and you can know that I will spend every day offering support to people who need it. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this

Help Me Achieve My Mom’s Dying Wish

Hi there, and thank you for taking the time to read my post.

I wasn’t sure how I was going to respond to my mom’s death. Losing my mom was something I couldn’t prepare for, even though I had tried. Usually I am the person others look to for direction and guidance, but I remember that moment at the end; when the doctor told us that our mom had only a few hours left. I kept asking myself, “What must I do?” and only emptiness responded.

I am the youngest of five children. I was my mom’s baby. I have four older, more ‘experienced-in-life’ siblings. It’s a safe haven for me. It’s home.

I am a mom to a team of three incredible little humans, and a wife to one of the strongest and most intelligent men that I have ever met. A healthy and balanced lifestyle has always been important to me. My mom was diagnosed with lung cancer in July 2015. She was a heavy smoker.

I missed the first call from my dad that day. I was in a meeting when I saw the missed call on my phone. It was strange, but I already knew that something was wrong. I immediately made the call and my dad answered after only one ring. He calmly explained that mom had cancer and that the doctors had given her a few months left to live. There was nothing they could do for her. Then he cried.

I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been for him that day, to tell each of us, one at a time, that their mother was dying, and that he couldn’t save her. That same month they had celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary. I felt so guilty that I hadn’t answered his call but rather, that I was returning it. I didn’t speak to my mom on the phone, and when we said goodbye I sat in silence…

I arrived at my parents’ house about an hour after leaving my office. During the trip there I had thought about what I should say to my mom, but I couldn’t think of anything of substance. By the time I drove into the driveway I had concluded that there was nothing to say; words were useless. I was surprised to discover that she was on her own. My dad had gone back to his office already, and then I realised that she would have demanded that he go back to work, to keep things ‘normal’. My mother was not a woman you chose to argue with, that is, if you had the choice. Behind three entrance gates, she sat with her book, her cup of coffee and a cigarette in her hand. Being the absolute lady she was, a long elegant filter fluttered between her lips and the space under her delicate but oversized hat. This was her signature style: she loved big floppy hats with flowers perched on top. She loved strong coffee, no milk. She loved heavy, lose-yourself books. And she loved cigarettes. There may have even been a tot or two of brandy in that black coffee of hers!

She looked peaceful under that huge umbrella of coconut palm trees, sitting gently at her outside table, legs crossed on top of her chair. Us petite ladies can do that. I suppose at some point, we all wonder and agonise over how and when we will die, and she had just received that secret. Maybe it brought her some sort of peace, to know the end of her incredible story. Her dark brown almond eyes lit up as she smiled at my arrival.

“What do you want to do mom?” were my first words to her. “I can take you anywhere, we can do anything you want.”

She smiled at me again, and under the brim of her huge hat, she said, “I have had a beautiful and full life. I don’t want to go anywhere or do anything. I want to be here, with you.”

And with that said, we sat quietly, hand in hand, and wept through our smiles.
I don’t recall how that day ended. I don’t care to recall it. What I do remember from that day was the overwhelming peace, strength and courage that my mom displayed. How she joked, and how she told us to be strong for her. Never again did I see her cry for herself.

A few days before she died I realised that Death does not come quietly. It felt as though I had lost her already. She was confused and weak. Her petite and slender legs were so incredibly thin and papery that you could see the dark purple veins pulsating underneath. Her skin looked bruised and broken, and her hair was grey and thin, which despite her age, usually never saw the light of day under continuous black hair dyes and hair sprays. She was a phenomenally beautiful woman that had been resorted to a chattering old lady in nappies, incapable of bathing herself. Cancer is a cruel and relentless ride that you can’t get off.

I first learnt about the smell of Death on that day. I remember looking it up on Google; the sweet and putrid smell of a human body that is about to die. For the first time in thirteen months, I became acutely aware that we had lost her forever. I realised that this eccentric woman, who had loved so fiercely, lived so wildly, and who had protected and cared for her family so deeply, had already left us. Her suffering was now so great, that Death had became a much-needed respite.

I had barely settled into my day at the office when my sister called to say that an ambulance was taking our mom to the hospital. She was in pain, and the hospice nurse could no longer ease her discomfort. We all knew it. We all knew that once she arrived at the hospital, she would never leave.

I arrived before they did. And when they did, I noticed that my mom was the most coherent she had been in weeks. She smiled when she saw me, and told me that she was sore. She clenched her fists, she writhed, she pleaded for relief. I felt utterly helpless. I looked at my dad and my sisters, I saw the desperation in their eyes, and I heard their voices shake. I noticed how incredibly kind the doctors and nurses were being towards us and towards my mom. We were breaking all the hospital rules in our true family style. And then I realised that they too knew that this was her end. The rules do not apply when Death arrives.

I saw things over those next 48 hours that I wish I could unsee. I saw suffering that is impossible to be compared to anything other than torture. Not just my mom’s own suffering, but the suffering experienced by my sisters and my father.
The helplessness and confusion was immense. She would awaken for very brief moments, mumble something that didn’t make sense, and return to her sleepy state. We took turns sitting with her, only going home to shower and put on fresh clothes. But I don’t think she was really there with us anyway.

Then a miracle happened. There was a moment of pure stillness. We were all there, sitting around her hospital bed when she regained total consciousness. She made it clear that she wanted to say something, even though she could not talk at all. We surrounded her closely, like the petals on one of her favourite roses. She looked at each one of us for a few seconds, and with absolute determination she mouthed out individual I love you’s. No voice escaped her, but each of us understood her message. Finally, she fixed her eyes on my father. He told her that she could go, and in his arms, my mom closed her eyes, and left us. Peacefully.

It’s been four years since my mom closed her eyes for the last time. Those warm, brown, loving eyes that could also become like fire when her passions were stirred. She had beautiful eyes. A lot has happened in four years, and mostly because of losing my mom. Not just the loss of her, but the experience of it all. The suffering and the beauty of her death. The pain and the peace it brought to our family.

In the last four years, I have welcomed my third child to the world and immigrated my family to Australia from South Africa to pursue my mom’s dream for me. She wanted me to obtain a PhD. Today, I am halfway through my research, and I have paid AUS$45000 towards my tuition so far. I need another AUS45 000 to complete my PhD, which will then allow me to apply for permanent residency for my family here in Australia.

My request, is that somewhere out there, a donor would consider funding my remaining tuition fees so that I can complete my PhD, and make my mom proud.

Financial support to keep studying

I am sure you have heard many stories like mine already so I would like to thank you for taking the time to read mine. I moved to The U.S. right after I got my bachelor’s degree in Advertising. Since I did not graduate in this country, it has always been hard for me to find a job on my career path that I could live from. I have worked as a waitress while having an office job just to be able to make enough money to give myself a decent life and support my mother who does not live in this country. I did not want to spend the rest of my life having to works two jobs. I believe that I am a woman with great potential and I wanted to give myself a second chance to build a better future for myself so I decided to go back to school. I am getting an associate’s degree in Computer Science at a Community College and I have been accepted at the University of Maryland for next Spring. Computer Science is a demanding career major, it requires a lot of time which, depending on how many classes I study, often leaves me with no time to have a job. I lost both of my jobs during the pandemic. I have been living on unemployment checks, which I do not qualify for anymore, and my savings for my school tuition. I am in a situation where I will probably have to stop studying to be able to work to support myself. Since I am 32 years old, I do not qualify for most grants and scholarships. I only qualify for student loans, which I am already applying for after having to spend my savings to cover my living expenses. I would like to be able to focus only on school so I can get my degree as soon as possible; therefore, I would appreciate any amount of financial help I could get. I never thought I would be asking for help on a website but I finally realize that it is not bad to ask for help when your intentions are honest. “None of us can make it alone.” Thank you.

University Student – Lost my Job to COVID

Hello, my name is Lauren and I’m a 20 year old second semester Junior university student. 

Just so you know a little about me (since, you know, I’m asking for money and all that) I’m an English major at a private university in Texas. My parents aren’t rich or anything. My dad actually took a massive pay cut when I was in high school so that he could preach for a struggling church and my mom is a nurse. So I got into this school and have been able to attend for the past couple years largely due to the scholarships I was fortunate enough to receive from graduating first in my class and scoring well on the ACT. 

I’m passionate about literature and storytelling of any kind. I was always a quiet kid so books were my stress relief and escape. Now, however corny it sounds, I want to be that for someone else with the work I put out there. Like any other literature loving young adult in this world, I am working on a novel. However, I won’t put all my faith in making it financially as a novelist. So I’m hoping to get my Master’s degree at Emerson College in creative writing and publishing and work either as a book editor for a publishing company or as a story writer for new media (film, video games, TV shows, etc.) and leave my books as passion projects to work on for my enjoyment.

I’ve done my best to be financially smart during my time in college. I don’t buy what I don’t need, I stay with my parents instead of the dorms to save $5000 per semester on housing, take out loans, take classes during the summer so that I can graduate early, and work. Last semester I worked two minimum wage jobs (weekend administration at a car dealership and inventory at the university library) to pay off what was left of my school bill. I didn’t make much but it would have been enough to pay the rest of my bill. Then, COVID hit and I lost the job at the library, due to the fact that I was not a mandatory employee. This was the one I worked more hours and, because of that, the one where most of my money came from. I was hoping I would be able to continue working when school started back up but they discontinued my position for the remainder of the pandemic.

I lost out on over $2500 since losing my job in April, which would have covered my dues I still owe for last semester and last summer and a good portion of what I owe this semester. I’m hoping I can somehow reach $1200 but anything you can and want to spare would be incredible. Anything I have to pay past that I believe I will be able to somehow figure out.

 I know this is a lot of money and a bit of a long shot but I hope you’ll might feel inclined to help a little. Thank you so much in advance if you choose to help me. I know you didn’t have to and I will be sure to pay it forward and help someone else in need when I am able to.

Help Me to Pursue My PhD 🙏

I do not know where or how to start. It is my first time writing and requesting for such kind of help. In general, I have started living on my own since the age of 17 far away from my own country, siblings, and family. During all these years I had a chance to work and study at the same time. I have recently graduated with a Master’s degree in the field of Information Technology. I am proud and glad that I could live and pay all my fees (rental, tuition fees, personal expenses etc…) throughout all these years away from my family in different three different countries. I can write hours about my challenges and difficulties that I have sweated out but I will not bore you with that. I take every step of my life as a challenge which leads me to grow further and further and I can see the differences in me when I look back on my life. Also its worth mentioning that even in my toughest times I have never thought about making quick money in illegal ways, it never even crossed my mind. Of course wherever I am or whatever I have achieved in this life was all through God’s plans and nothing to do with me. Without him, I am truly nothing. I am so thankful for everything that he has done for me and I can not ask for more. I have realized that during all these years, studies and educations were a big part of my career and life. Even in times that I wanted to give up on studies and only focus on work, magically something happened that I end up pursuing my education. The same goes for my Master’s degree which I was admitted to a university with a scholarship. When I graduated with the Master’s degree I thought that this is the end of my journey for education and it is finally time to fully concentrate on work and settle my life. But again as always based on some supernatural ways I get a chance to do my Ph.D. at a university in the United Kingdom. Once more, I was amazed by God’s plans that something has happened so that I can continue my studies in a field that I was always passionate about. The university and the department have decided to provide me with a stipend monthly salary and a wave on the yearly international tuition fees. The university decided to provide me the mentioned scholarship because of the high grades that I had achieved in my Master’s degree (4.0 CGPA). To enroll in the Ph.D. course (starts February 2020) I have to pay the first year tuition fee in advance which is also one of the requirements for getting the visa too. The waived tuition fee is £7000. I truly believe that I can afford to pay the consequence years since I will have the stipend monthly salary and maybe some part-time jobs. This is a crucial time for me and my future career as I really want to undertake the Ph.D. and I just need help with the initial first-year payment to enroll in the course. I do not want to miss this great opportunity. As you might know, getting a Ph.D is challenging and the selection process is competitive, (universities usually select only 1 candidate for each position among hundreds of other students depending on the course) especially the paid ones. Any support will be truly appreciated and will be a great help to my career. Once again I do not how I end up here and wrote all these but I have felt in my heart that I need to do it. Likewise, I will make sure to aid anyone in the future and pass the generosity whenever it is possible. apologize for taking your time and for any bad English or grammar. Thank you and God bless you.  🙏

Tuition and Rent Help

 

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out for help, because I am faced with potentially being pushed out of my home and school, due to lack of finances. I work, go to school full-time, manage a business, and also care for others in my family on a regular basis.

My mother has been jobless since the beginning of the pandemic, and has not received relief that can support medical bills she faces. Because of this, she has moved in with me, and I have been helping to support her, my two kids, and my 4 animals (a bunny, German Shepherd, and two cats). I have also been struggling to afford tuition for my terms, and no longer have financial aide to support myself through the remainder of my two years.

It is my goal in life to help others, so reaching out for help has been a challenge. I seek aide to help grow my business in helping others (I offer therapy for low-income citizens, and also offer therapy animal comfort through my registered and trained animals). In order to keep supporting myself, my mother, and my business, I have decided to ask for help getting back on my feet after getting so many things thrown at me over this past year.

With the help received, I would be able to pay rent, cover more tuition, and better support my kids, my mother, and my animals. With help, we would be able to live without fear of being homeless, completely jobless, and can stabilize our lives again.

I am grateful for the opportunity to reach out, and hope that someone might be able to offer some form of help.

Thank you,

Samantha

Howdy y’all! I’m Cooper, and I’m 19 years old. When I was younger, my dad ran a successful coal company and we were well off enough. However, when I was in middle school, he was falsely accused of a tax related crime that nobody ever explained to me. There was a SWAT team sent to lay siege to his office and our family’s house, the following legal battles drained most of our resources, and my dad had to go to prison for a year or risk more financial ruin. The year he was gone was extremely difficult for my mom and I, and even now that he’s home we’re still struggling to make ends meet. On top of that, our house was flooded a few months after he came back and we had to pay for the floors to get repaired while paying for a hotel to stay in until the repairs were done. We still haven’t totally moved back in. Many of our appliances have broken in the past few months, and last week, something went wrong with the plumbing and now we don’t have hot water.

 

On top of this, I am autistic and need medication to function. My prescriptions are Vyvanse and Citalopram, and while the citalopram isn’t too costly, a 30 day supply of Vyvanse is $270. This would be bad enough if I was the only one who needed medication in the house, but both my parents have several prescriptions they have to have as well. Mom also needs leg surgery, but we can’t afford it. She runs an estate sale business and overworks herself, so she might be exacerbating the issue. However, she doesn’t have much of a choice.

 

I’m also currently enrolled at the Savannah College of Art and Design, and I’m so grateful. I want to go into either animation or comics, and SCAD has some of the best resources to make that happen. However, it’s expensive just taking classes from home right now, and moving in next school year will mean adding the meal plan bill on top of it. Supplies for classes add up quickly. I did get quite a bit in scholarships, but I’m still paying around $36,000 a year. By the time I graduate, I will likely wind up $90,000 in debt.

Now, I’m sure you’re wondering why I don’t just get a job, and that’s a fair concern. Towards the beginning of the whole pandemic nightmare, my mom had to take me off the car insurance to save money, so I can no longer drive. We live in Arkansas, so public transportation is not really a viable option. In addition to this, I mentioned before that I am autistic and attending SCAD. SCAD courses are work heavy and the school has a reputation for being intense. My classes are also at odd hours which would complicate setting my hours. I’ve been working on my executive functioning for years and I’m much better than I used to be, but I would likely underperform in either the job or my classes if I tried to do both, and that’s not an option. Furthermore, nobody is really hiring right now.

So what am I asking for exactly? While there’s a ton of things going on, I think that covering college costs would help my family most in the long term. It would lift a weight off of our shoulders, and my mom might finally relax a bit.

Tuition for SCAD is $52,554 a year, including the meal plan. One of my scholarships is allowing me to enter as a sophomore, so I only need to pay for 3 years rather than four. I also received $22,795 in financial aid, so that means I’m paying $36,221 a year. Based on that, the amount I need to cover the costs of tuition and the meal plan should be $108,663.

I have attached a screenshot of my financial aid offer from the school below. I can send the pdf on request. Thank you for your time.

Unemployed College Student

Hello! My name is Brianna White. I am attending Beckfield College to become a registered nurse. Lately with all of the Covid-19 pandemic I got laid off and denied for unemployment. My college bills are getting extremely hard to make and I’m about to get kicked out. On top of that I’m having issues paying my rent. I’ve been looking for jobs and I’ve applied too all that I can but many places are still not hiring. I would appreciate if you could send even $10 to help me out. My bill for school for this semester is $8267.97. Luckily I’ve saved up almost $1500 but that’s not near enough. Even a couple dollars would work and it would mean a lot. I’m desperately trying to get back on my feet. I can’t get kicked out of school. I have worked entirely too hard and I only have 3 semesters left. I don’t normally like asking people for money but this is my last resort. Like I said, any money would help and I’ll be so thankful.
Thank you!
