Financial Hardship Help

Alone in a foreign country.

Hello everyone, thank you for your precious time to read my story. My name is Marie, I am an international student currently working towards my Master Degree in Tourism Management. I am one of the few students from Madagascar that was granted a scholarship to study in China. The idea of exposing my situation online like this really scares me because I am quite a private person, but seems like I have no one to turn to so I’ve decided to give this a try and pray that someone out there will kindly help me.

Since the outbreak of COVID, China has completely changed, everyday life has changed, School regulations and policy has changed… We (foreign students at my university) spent nearly one year locked up inside the campus, 6 months in 2020 and 5 months and half in 2022. I know it has been tough not just for us but for everyone. This brings us to my situation：

I am supposed to graduate this year (June2022) but because of a new change in requirement of student’s thesis, my thesis didn’t pass. Imagine one year doing research and just comes to nothing. The amount of time and effort I spent on that research is just imaginable. Sleepless nights, overworking, worrying to death I experienced it all throughout the whole process of writing (by the way, since my program is in Chinese, I am writing my thesis in Chinese) … But in the end, it got rejected. So now my academic year had to be extended, and in one year I have to finish writing my thesis and graduate. Seeing my friends at their graduation day really made me sad but that’s not the worst part yet. The worst part is since I was on scholarship (it covered monthly expenses and dorm fees) and now I am doing extension, I won’t receive any financially support since it doesn’t support students who are doing extension. I sought help everywhere that I thought I could find but somehow everything just works against me, I tried to talk to the international office at least to let me not pay the dorm fee but they just dismissed my request. I am in a desperate situation right now, I don’t know where can I find money to support myself and my research, and in a few days, I will completely be running out of money. I can’t ask money to my parents, they are really poor and I can’t work since I am on student’s visa, it’s illegal and it’s risky. I had two friends that were expelled by the school after the police caught them working part time job. And not every job is open to foreigners here in China, the one that most foreigners do here is teaching English. Even if I search for a teaching job, the chance for me to find any is really small since I am not a native speaker, I am not qualified. All I am asking is a donation around 10.000 $, that will help me and will change my situation completely. And I can focus on doing my research in peace, and will be able to buy food and not to worry about money anymore. I am alone in a foreign country ( I’m literally the only person from my country that lives in the city I am in) and I am really worried and the thought about giving up really cross my mind sometimes and that really scares me.

I humbly request you to donate to me if you can, of course I will appreciate any amount you are willing to give. Thank you so much and God bless you!

Tuition Assistance

Hello to everyone. This is my last resort. I am about to start my third year of college and unfortunately my financial aid was not able to fully cover my tuition costs. I got a minimum wage job to try and help cover the costs but unfortunately it was not able to fully cover everything. I also applied for scholarships but I unfortunately did not receive any. I still have an outstanding balance that I need to pay off as soon as possible . I am asking for $1,800 in order to settle the bill for the upcoming semester and to pay for books. Any donation would be greatly appreciated. This would allow me to remain focused on my studies without the financial burden weighing on me. It would also keep from having my classes dropped. Thank you for your time and consideration. May all of you continue to be blessed.

 

Bless your hearts.

Grad School Dreams

I never though I’d find myself in this situation, but I have faith that someone will read this and be willing to help me out. 

After years of doubting my ability to get into a graduate program (due to a low GPA during undergrad from my declining health with an undiagnosed health situation) I have finally gotten accepted into my dream school for my dream program. I don’t know how I got so lucky to have been accepted into this school and I can finally live the live I dream of living in this new city. 

With this cross-country move sprung upon me last minute, I am in over my head with fees left and right. I have financially supported myself for the past four years and have always worked two to three jobs to be able to support myself, as I come from immigrant parents and have always had to work to put myself through school or anything I wanted. We have no other family in the states and the family that we do have is way less fortunate that we are. I do not have the heart to let my parents know how much money I truly need to make this dream come a reality, because they already worked so hard to get me through undergrad and have their own struggles to deal with. My grandfather passed away not too long ago and that has put my dad into a deep depression, which has affected my mother in a bad way, so adding my financial burdens would only worsen the situation. 

I know that moving across the country and being able to continue my education will allow me to one day make more money and give my parents and myself the life we deserve. I know in my heart that I will one day find a way to help out those that are less fortunate because I know what it’s like to struggle and deeply desire money to just stay afloat. 

I am asking for $5,000 to help with my lease break fee, new deposit for the bedroom I will be renting out, textbooks, school fees, used furniture that I will need to buy, and so much more. Although this seems like a large amount to request, it will barely be enough to get me by through the end of September. The program itself will cost $60,000 but I am convincing myself to look at this as an investment in my future, as opposed to more debt. In a perfect world, someone will see this and give me $10,000 to help pay off the remaining debt I am currently in, as well as paying all of the additional items listed above. 

Getting to attend this program and make my dreams come true would mean so much more than you realize. I will appreciate it more than anything in this world and promise to find a way to pay it forward some day. From the bottom of my heart, thank you thank you thank you.

Semester’s bill

Hello. I finished my last semester of school. I wasn’t getting much financial aid. I was financially responsible for putting myself through school. I tried my best to juggle being a full time student, along with working. However, there is still a hefty $5,000 bill that I was not able to cover. I make a little over minimum wage now, from my internship. Most of my money goes to food and any bills I may have. It is difficult trying to focus on current needs, and the semester’s bill both at once. I just want it from off of my head. I appreciate each individual that is able to donate. Thank you.

Tuition assistance

Hi my name is Angela. I would like to share with you my story and truth. First off, several years ago, I was a independent woman who had a career as a substance abuse therapist , perhaps helping hundreds of men/women coming out of the prison system to find life’s  path. Because I believed it was a calling and a passion, this was a career that lasted for 14 years but I also thought it was going to be until I retired. Unfortunately, that was not the case. In 2009, I began to experience depression and burnout due to the onset of physical pain and symptoms of fibromyalgia, which was not diagnosed until several years later. Because I was not getting better, it resulted in leaving my career the end of 2009, after which came being in and out of the hospital for various sicknesses, illnesses, and depression.

Not having employment, an income or any real savings to sustain me for a little while for the future or this unforeseen event, I found myself in a terrifying situation. I lost everything and even became homeless.

In 2011, I filed for disability. I fought four long years before I was awarded disability. During that four years, not only was I yet dealing with existing health and depression, I developed a new health issue which was spinal degeneration. Through the pain, struggles, difficulties, tears and uncertainties, I was determined to get better. But due to the spinal degeneration there were days that I could not walk ,get out of bed or perform  everyday simple tasks. It was becoming really challenging to take care of myself. Because  of that, I had major back surgery in July 2021. As I’ve been recovering, I have discovered that I have a passion for interior design. I have done some research and obtained information for an on-line course that will give me the tools to be the best I can be in interior design. I am humbly asking for $5,000 which would cover tuition and a laptop. The course would be virtual and personalized for 5 weeks which I would obtain a certificate in interior design with resources for employment as well as materials and modules.

Now that I have shared my story, truth and request I believe that like so many others I deserve another opportunity to do something positive, to live out my dream and vision to pursue something that I’m so passionate about after going through and having experienced hardships, setbacks, struggles and traumatic events and yet have HOPE. It would mean so much to me for this opportunity and monetary support to pursue this passion in interior design. My short -term goal is to obtain everything  there is to know about interior design and the basic knowledge needed to be able  to build my clientele. My long-term goal will be spent on learning the business side on how to start my own. Again it would  be such a great blessing for me to receive the financial support but also  the support from financial donors who see my heart , vision and dream will be so GREATLY appreciated  Thank you so much God Bless.

Making Dreams Come True

Hello to everyone and thank you for checking out my story. My name is Kristopher and I live in Tampa, Florida. I currently have a girlfriend in the Philippines who I have been with since September of 2017. As of February of 2020, we have been working on getting her marriage annulled from her former husband.

Getting a marriage annulled in the Philippines is a long process. Covid-19 hit right after we started the process and then the Philippines went on lockdown, so the annulment process was halted until November of 2021. Our goal was to get the marriage annulled and bring her and her kids to America, which we are currently working on.

My girlfriend has 4 kids 21, 18, 16, and 14. 3 boys and a girl. My girlfriend works but it is not enough to support 4 kids. Throughout our almost 5 years together I have helped them financially. I have been to the Philippines several times in the almost 5 years we have been together. I love my girlfriend and I love these kids so much, that I would do anything for them. But it is becoming increasingly hard financially for me as the kids get older. Two are now in college and the tuition is starting to add up. I currently am working 2 jobs, one part-time and one full-time. I work at Publix grocery store part-time and Uber full-time 12 hours a day on days that I don’t work at Publix. I am working 7 days a week with no time off just to be able to support myself and them. So that’s why I am on here asking anyone that would be to help me financially with any donations to alleviate some of this financial burden from me is greatly appreciated.

I know my story might not be compelling as others but in my heart of hearts, I needed to do this. For the kid’s sake. I want to make all their dreams come true as for most of their lives they have had to struggle. The kids have dreams and they are doing their best to achieve them. That is also the reason why I am doing everything I can to help them, especially to finish their studies. Their father had abandoned them and they had so many sacrifices and struggles that they have encountered in their life. Their mom is the only one supporting them when they were abandoned. I am only asking for help to help me take them here to the United States so that they can get more opportunities, finish their studies and end all their sufferings and struggles and for the betterment of the kid’s future. We are both working so hard to achieve this and we are currently struggling so I am humbly asking for any support. I’m looking for around 50,000 dollars for tuition for school and fees for bringing them here to America. I will pray for all your success and I will be beyond grateful for your kind heart. It is only my goal to thank anyone in advance who donates. Have a blessed day and God bless!

Nursing Student Needs Help to Finish School

This is my last resort. Currently, I am in my last semester of nursing school. I went to school during the pandemic and currently work at a large hospital as a patient care tech. I have paid for college by myself the entire time. My mother is unemployed and struggles with mental health issues, and my father is in so much debt from situations that he created that neither of them have helped me one single penny. Since I’m in my last semester, it’s extremely demanding and even more so because this semester is accelerated. With that being said, I have not been able to work near as much as I need to to make ends meet. I have multiple 12 hour clinicals per week plus homework, quizzes, and exams. When I do get a day off, I try to pick up shifts at work but it’s not nearly enough to meet my expenses. I have to pay rent, my car payment to get to class, gas, food, along with the expenses to graduate and register for my state boards. I already have an RN job lined up at the end of august, but unfortunately it’s too far away and I’m in desperate need of financial help now. Any little bit helps. If I could manage to get $1500-2000 that would help me immensely with my expenses and give me the little push to finish school and get started with my career.

Need Financial Assistance to Graduate Grad School

I am currently enrolled in the College of Business Executive MBA Program at Purdue University Northwest, in hopes to earn my EMBA at the end of this year. I began the program in September of 2021. It is approximately 14 months long, and the total cost is approximately $65,000. Approximately $35,000 of this cost is being paid for out of pocket. Due to several unforeseen circumstances and a few major setbacks, I am unable to pay the remaining amount due in full. If it is not paid by the summer semester, I will be removed from the program and unable to complete my degree. I need $7,000 by the beginning of September in order to be able to stay in school. I have emptied my savings, taken out several loans, and applied for every scholarship and grant I can think of. I am seven months into the program and have just reached the halfway point. I have maintained straight A’s and a 4.0 GPA. I am dedicated to this program, and it has given me a purpose.  I am employed full-time, in addition to holding 2 part-time positions. My car was recently totaled, and now I am stuck with a car payment on top of everything. I really want to succeed. Every little bit helps. Thank you.

Tuition – 3 year old, Nature learning

My son Jeff (3 years old) has been given the opportunity to join a fun and unique learning opportunity. He’ll be able to spend time at school outside. He’ll learn about plants, nature, gardening, and other natural lessons. However, the tuition is out of our price range…or at least would stretch it to the brink.

We are looking to buy a house, which in itself will be a real pickle, and that means a dive in the budget. Right now we are barely hanging on. But this should not prevent the opportunity for learning and experiencing the world. 

He would love the chance to be outside to learn about this planet. He would get the opportunity to make friends and grow. Going to a school that stresses the importance of outside play and activity would be a wonder. They will  spend a minimum of 80% of their day outside 

Currently, I work remotely. This means I am constantly at home. So I know first hand that most of his days are spent cooped up. He gets bored of his toys, bored of tv. He wants and needs to thrive and flourish. A three year old is a sponge for learning and knowledge. He doesn’t need to learn about Paw Patrol. He needs to learn about important matters. 

Just to reiterate, the tuition ($3000) is just beyond my means. But it’s not just the tuition his school requires.

Being outdoors translates to lots of clothing. It”s snowbibs, boots, jackets, hats, and mittens. Then duplicates and backups for those just-in-case scenarios. Then there is the bug spray, and sunblock, ect. This all adds up. Money is just so tight. I would love to provide him the chance.

I know as a parent we all want the best for our children. Any consideration would be appreciated. I know I failed inl large by not being better with money. He has suffered for this. I have work ed hard at giving him what he needs. But as we know everything else has seen a spike in cost. 

My pay may increase but it’s negated by inflation. Food and housing is very expensive. Education shouldn’t be out of Jeff’s reach. We wMt to strive to build a better future. Please consider this request. 

I know any donation would be appreciated and loved. We all are a part of this world. And it’s worth brightening our children’s eyes just to feel like it’s has something to offer.

To those with a kind heart,

Jeff and Lauren

HELP TO FINISH SCHOOL

I am currently a Master’s student at the University of Regina, Saskatchewan Canada. This is my student ID for your verification 200468402. I am currently in need of money to pay my school fees in School for my remaining one year of studies. The total sum includes my tuition fee as an engineering Master’s student, student fees, international surcharge (as I am an International student) and books and supplies.

The breakdown can be seen below:

Master of Engineering Tuition – CAD$8,964.00

Student Fees – CAD$1,312.90

International Surcharge – CAD$3,718.50

Books & Supplies – CAD$1,200

This information is verifiable on the University of Regina website (link attached below)

https://www.uregina.ca/gradstudies/assets/docs/pdf/costofstudy.pdf

As stated, my name is Chinenye Anagor and I am an International Master’s student from Nigeria. Things have been very hard in my country and my family decided that it would be best to send of of their children to North America to be a bale to create a  better life for our family. We searched for the cheapest schools in Canada which also is in an area with relatively low cost of living, we found the University of Regina to be one of the cheapest schools to attend here in Canada. My family members went ahead to sell all they could to be able to get me into the university here but unfortunately, what we could put together was only able to cover my first year of study. I assured them that they had done enough already and that I had heard that I would be able to work some hours as a student, and I planned that with that I could be able to support myself the rest of my studies.

I came to Regina as optimistic as I could be and started immediately to search for jobs. I was not searching for high end jobs, but basic jobs in supermarkets, cleaning jobs and also kitchen jobs; I attended countless interviews both over the phone and in person but so far I have not gotten a call back from any of the interviewing companies. I had applied in places like Walmart, shoppers drug mart, home depot, Real Canadian superstore, best buy, value village and countless other stores and warehouses and I will not stop anytime soon. I believe that with a little more effort, I will get something for myself.

I will not say I deserve your help, because for one to be willing to help others is a rare privilege for whoever receives it but I hope that I have shown so far how much effort I put into making sure I get myself on my feet and possibly never have to beg again.

It is also not necessary for you to consider the whole amount that I have stated, as I only wanted to show that amount that would make sure I do not have to worry about any other school fees for the rest of my studies. Any form of assistance will be very much appreciated wholeheartedly.

I humbly hope that in the Genuity of your heart, you see the honesty in the request of this young lady just looking for a better life.

All information I have given here is very much verifiable and I will be willing to provide any further information you might need, even in person if necessary.

Thank you for this kind work you are doing and may you remain blessed.costofstudy_page-0001.jpgthumbnail.jpg

Need Money For School

I am the first person in my family to go away to college. I was so excited for this experience and now I think I may just be hurting my family. Every time I talk to my mother she sounds more and more upset. Money has been an issue in the past but never this much. My tuition is $10,000 a semester not including the cost of food. I really just want financial help to lift the burden from my mother. I am getting desperate at this point for money.

When I began looking for colleges to attend I did so with the intention of not burdening my mother. I applied to pace university and Boston university but the tuition for both would have made us go bankrupt. The school I am currently attending is the cheapest of the three choices. Unfortunately these three schools were the only ones with my major in the area I live.

I began searching for jobs both on and off campus in the fall. I have been searching since but I get shot down at every interview. I applied for positions that would reduce the cost of room as well as positions that would take money directly off of my tuition. I was rejected as I do not have enough prior experience for these jobs. The other choices i had was getting a job over the summer. The position that i wanted to have ended up getting filled. My choices for working are a bit limited as I have diagnosed PTSD and interacting with angry people or loud noises can send me into a panic attack or worse. Because of this my options for work are rather limited.  The money donated to me would go towards food. I am not expecting large donations to be given to me. I really just want to feel a bit more secure and to be able to have money to eat.

I began to get more nervous about the money situation when I was placed on financial hold. My Nona and my mother were both racing against time to try and pay my tuition. They ended up having to pay it using credit as they still do not have the money for it.

Once again I am not expecting large donations but anything will help. I will be extremely grateful for any money that I am given. I feel desperate and lost at this point. I am not sure what to do anymore or where to go from here.

Here is my PayPal link. Thank you for reading this.
