Hi, My name is Kenneth Ziniti. I am a sophomore at Boston University studying business law. I have a full ride scholarship for ROTC but I got charged extra to take a summer course to get ahead in school. i am asking for $7000 to get me through this rough patch. My family cannot afford it and if I don’t get it then I will have to leave school. To anyone that helps i promise I will find a way to repay you and I will consider it a loan. But I really want to serve my country after school and this is the way I need to ask for help.

Hey y’all and thank you in advance for even taking the time to read through this page. As embarrassing as this is, I’m asking for financial assistance as I am now in a situation where I cannot pay my bills anymore. I am a 24 year old who has just moved back to my home in Texas for a little life restructuring. I want to be as transparent as possible, in hindsight, I wish I hadn’t gone straight to college after high school. Although I had good grades, I believe that we live in a very big world and people should be able to travel and experience life BEFORE they are forced to make drastic life changing decisions and commit thousands of dollars to a school or major they may, or may not find a job in. If you relate to this sentiment, hopefully you can relate to my situation.
A little background about me and my situation: my senior year of high school, my parents unfortunately divorced, as this took a toll on me emotionally, it didn’t compare what it did to me financially. All of high school my parents refused to assist me in taking out “student loans” because they did not want me to be in debt instead they agreed to help fund my education out of pocket. Then the divorce came and after my first SEMESTER of university, neither of my parents wanted to help me financially (as promised) for my college tuition, both would tell me that the other is more equipped to help me out but in the end, neither of them helped me pay a cent. From that point forward, I transferred to a school closer to my mom, moved in with her, got a job and commuted roughly an hour to school to continue my education. In order to make this commute, I also needed a car. So in 2016, my mom convinced me to purchase a brand new Jeep Wrangler. By having to pay for school, on top of a new car and insurance payments, I began to fall into a bit of credit card debt because all my earnings were going to bills.
Fast forward to now, all of that has caught up to me. After losing hours during the COVID19 pandemic, and not being able to afford my lifestyle, I decided to move back to Texas from California to start on a better foot. Unfortunately, during this move I hit a set of road bumps, with my car being broken into, important boxes being stolen that included my work MacBook, moving company scamming and draining me of money, and my new job currently only being part time. (Again for transparency, I work in cannabis and cannabis advocacy)
I have not been able to return to school, I am not able to pay my bills as all my current income is going to my car payments, and I am just living in a constant state of worry as my bank account fluctuates from the negative to positive. I can do great things if simply one of my bills just disappeared. I currently have only 7k left to pay on my car note. I would be eternally grateful if just a dollar was donated to help me get out of my pickle. This is easily one of the most embarrassing things I’ve ever had to do, so again. I appreciate your time and thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Hello everyone,
My name is Danielle Alexander I am a college student who has big dreams of pursuing a career in multiple fields. As of right now, I am struggling with finances and trying to complete my degree. I am an art major with a focus on studio concentration and also training to become a flight paramedic which is my main dream career. Ever since the pandemic has happened things have not been going so well. I lost a lot these past few years and trying to survive off of what I have left. Growing up has been very difficult due to being in foster care and moving house to house, now that I am a young adult I want to change that aspect from having a rough life growing up to becoming someone who can conquer their dreams no matter what falls ahead. For all those who have been in this situation, I would very much appreciate the help and will share my story with those who are struggling, like me, to let them know that anything is possible. Thank you so much for your time!
Hello everyone. I was accepted into a two year post-bacc program with guaranteed acceptance into medical school if I meet the requirements. I have met the requirements and now I need to complete my application through the American Medical Colleges Admission system which requires that I submit my official transcripts from all institutions attended. Sadly I have past due balances totaling $7,150 and I must pay that in full in order to obtain my transcripts. I did not receive any financial aid for my post-bacc so it was all out of pocket.
It has always been my dream to become a doctor so that I can help others. After making it this far and having an acceptance, please help me so that paperwork does not keep me from fulfilling my dream. Thanks to those that help.

School starts tomorrow and my son can’t go until I pay half of the remaining balance of last year’s outstanding tuition balance of $7494=$3747. I made a $1067 today so I now owe $2680. We moved Jacob, my 11-year, into private school bc if ADHD, ODD, anxiety, and depression. His father, who lives across the street from my husband myself and Jacob hasn’t seen his son in 2 1/2 years and has spent that time filing retaliatory custody lawsuits as not to pay child support. That is where the tuition money went last year. We are moving into a rental property next week! The school we chose helped Jacob flourish academically and emotionally. His first day of six grade is tomorrow and he will not be in attendance and I feel like the worlds worst parent. He’s not too upset about it! LOL but the mom guilt is killing me. I will be eternally grateful if you can help us in anyway as this young man was dealt a hand that he never asked for. I just want to have one good thing happen for him. I want him to have one thing that is stable during this very confusing and ongoing situation.
Thank you With my humblest gratitude!

Hi, I go by the name Emzy. I’m currently 20 years old and been enrolling at a Saint Paul College for the last two years. I’m a first generation student and from a low income family household so obtaining a college degree is not common in my immediate family. I was very fortunate to go to school tuition-free because financial aid was able to pay off my fees throughly and attending at a community college is more affordable.
The last two years, I’ve been struggling to figure out what I want to do in my life. All I know is that I’ve always been interested in Psychology due to a personal experience in high school. When I was 15 years old, my life turned upside down. I was depressed and suicidal during my teenage years because of the trauma I experienced. It was my first time going to the ER and getting treated when I was 17. At the time, I didn’t know what was happening. I thought it was a ticket for me to escape from school and the people that hurt me. When I was admitted to a unit with other teenagers that shared similar experiences with me, I realized that I wasn’t the only one. Later on, I was told that I’ve been diagnosed with PTSD and Clinical Depression. I was discharged in two weeks which was earlier than expected due to my mother’s request.
This event has impacted me in a negative way and I’ll never forget it. I knew that after going through this obstacle, I wanted to help others find clarity and healing within themselves. I’ve always believed that understanding is better than debating whether something is right or wrong. It’s easy to make a bad decision, I’m sure we’ve all done it before but sometimes we don’t understand why we did it. I’ve always been the type of person that thinks there’s a reason behind everything.
Long story short, seeking to understand human behavior and mindset has always fascinated me. I want to know what makes a person become a serial killer, why does my brother have anger issues or why does an adult act like a child? I feel like there’s a stigma to psychiatry and I want to shed light about mental health. It’s not about taking medication but finding and understanding yourself.
I want to change the game in psychiatry, I believe there’s many more possibilities of treating and helping people especially when technology is always improving. I know I have a long way to go in terms of education until I can become a real medical doctor. I feel like the best psychiatrists are the people who have the most experience especially if you were once a patient before. I decided to change my major to Health Sciences after two years of majoring in something that I’m not passionate about. This upcoming fall semester, I’m starting premed then attend medical school after obtaining my bachelors. The only reason why I didn’t start sooner is because of my financial situation. I live with my parents and we live from paycheck to paycheck. I know that becoming a doctor is a commitment and something you have to be passionate for. It is my dream to be a psychiatrist and become the first doctor in my bloodline.
I am hoping to raise $50,000 so I can afford going to medical school, live on my own and get a car without receiving financial help from my parents. I’m currently taking courses to become a CNA so I can earn some income while gaining experience in the healthcare field before going to medical school. Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Please take care of your mental health and know that it’s okay to take breaks when it’s needed. Have a beautiful day.
Hello everyone, this year I’m more happy to say that I’m accepted to college, studying to become dentist. Unfortunately, My father had passed away 2 years ago due to an accident with his car, and it hard for us. My mother is the the most caring person in the world, who works two job for me to become student, but i can’t watch her tired face every they, that breaks my heart. I’m working too to help her, but it’s not the same without my father, who provided for us when he was alive. Today I’m here to ask you for financial help and I’m sorry for that, but i just couldn’t find another way. After my first semester I will try to find much better job for me and make it easier for my mom. My college tax is $20 000, but I need $7 500 more to complete it.
Thank you so much guys for the time that you spend over reading my request, I truly appreciate it.

Greetings dear reader, my name is Ouidad, I am a 22 years old university student, and this year is my last year to complete my cycle of an Engineering student and obtain my master’s degree.
Unfortunately before this process, I lost my father about 5 months ago, and I am an only child, and some financial problems surfaced in the family that didn’t allow me to finish it, and my mother is working all day for my tuition, it was hard to see her struggle and I couldn’t just sit and watch her do all the job, therefore I decided to work to help out, but that didn’t go as planned because of this pandemic, and also the banks won’t give me any help considering I am a student and that a tutor needs to take the loan, but my mom already has some so she can’t ask for it,as for family members… let’s just say we can’t count on them for they have problems of their own. It got pretty hard for us, especially when they saw my mother’s age, which even worsened the situation. Not to forget that I applied for every scholarship that I am eligible for, but the response is either a rejection or a no answer at all. I have also asked for an academic scholarship from my university, but it just happened that they give it to top 4 students, and I am ranked 8, as for the social scholarship, they told me that it’s not available. I honestly don’t know what to do anymore, because wherever I go, doors just keep closing on us, and this happens to be my last hope, my last resort, because otherwise, the 5 years I spent studying would go down the drain.
The university that I am in is UIR, it’s in Morocco, Africa, and they have an obligatory program for the 5th year Engineering students, to finish the major in the partner University which is Mississippi State University, MS, in the USA.
The yearly tuition fee is around 13 thousand dollars, let alone the rent and expenses. I have been really hardworking, for both my parents, and since I lost one I honestly feel incomplete, and if you ask me why I’m doing this? It’s because I thrive to do better, to be better, for both me and my parents, after all, I owe it to them where I am right now, and what is a better reward for the parents than their child succeeding in life.
I am asking for an amount of 20thousands dollars, that would cover not only the tuition, but also what would be required for me from rent and expenses, health insurance and what the university is asking from us.
I would really appreciate the help that would be given to me, because there was no day that I stopped praying for a solution, and if it happens to come from someone that I don’t know, I would be eternally grateful, and everyday where I’ll be attending that university, is a blessed day for that kind generous soul.
Thank you for having time to read this, stay safe and have an absolutely wonderful life.

Hello! I’m a single mom working full-time, going to college full-time, and trying to put my son through a good school. On our island, the public school education system fails our youth more than set them up for success. For that reason, I’ve decided to put my son in the only all-boys private school which prides itself specifically as a college preparatory school. The tuition is about $8,000 per year which includes, tuition, fees and registration fees. I have worked so hard to send him to this school so that I could give him the best education available on our island. I have sacrificed so much but now I’ve just simply fallen short. For his freshman year, I took out a loan. For his sophomore year, I was able to pay his tuition (however it was late and had many calls from the school’s accounts receivables clerk). My son’s sophomore year was the year Covid 19 came to our island and the financial effects from that year is what is causing me such a struggle to pay for this upcoming Junior year.
When Covid 19 came to our island, I was lucky enough to not have my income affected. However, because both my son and I were home during the lock down, expenses increased and I began to fall behind on bills. As time went on, I found it more difficult for me to make tuition payments on time. I found myself juggling my money between which obligation am I going to have to incur a late fee or which bill am I not going to pay this month just so I can pay what I could for tuition. In doing this, I fell more and more into debt by incurring late fees and penalties.
I am a full-time student at the local university which deters me from getting a second job. I have looked for a second job but the hours just aren’t feasible for me since I already work full-time, go to school full-time and am a mother full-time also helping my elderly grandmother.
I am asking for financial help so that I can continue to send my son to school while I focus on catching up on bills and debts. Your money will not go to waste. My son is a respectful kid and your money will be put to good use to help my son continue on his path of getting an education. My hope is to be able to give him the best possible chance at getting into a good college.
My son is a good kid. He has made National Honor Society and Japanese Honor Society. He has a dream of going to college in the mainland United States right after high school and has the intention of studying in digital media. He volunteers his time at our local church and other community events when the opportunity comes. He also participates in community programs when offered by the local university.
Any help you can give would be so very much appreciated. Thank you so much for time and consideration.

Hello, my name is Jared. This request stems from the events that happened during this school year. I am a transfer student from a different college where I was studying to be a Lutheran teacher. I had taken some time off school to help my mom back at home, as she was suffering from heart difficulties. Since transferring from that school I have lost my mother to cardiac arrest, and my father has suffered a stroke. I have relatively no means of financial support besides myself. I transferred to my current school in spring of 2020. As you can see in the photo, my spring semester tuition is fully paid off. The first semester there was the first semester we experienced the Covid-19 outbreak. Following that semester all of my classes were placed online. I believed that living with my friends somewhere else while doing online school and working was the best option. This made it extremely hard to communicate to the university, which is in Chicago. Approximately 200 mi from my residence. During the 2020-2021 school year, I was asked to verify the income of my father from 2018 as well as send mine in. As you can imagine, this was hard retrieving information from my father who is near delusional, and 4 states away. The school also for some reason considered me a dependent student, even thought neither of my parents were a source of income. As the semester went on I was just recently able to get the signed documents, but the financial aid office is telling me I can no longer submit my financial aid. This is a private school in Chicago, whose sticker price for tuition and fees is roughly $32,000. My remaining balance is currently upwards of $30,000, because no financial aid was applied for a s student who dearly needs it. . I am still currently pursuing a degree as a teacher. My mother passed shortly before my admission to the university, but never got to see her son enroll in another college. If you can help in anyway, please let me know.
My name is Alondra, I’m a sophomore in college. I’ve been trying to save for my college tuition, I currently still need $5000. Unfortunately I didn’t make the amount I needed to in time and I need extra help. I don’t have many options left so I decided to give this a try and hope for the best. I major in nursing, and I hope to graduate in 2 more years. I tried saving as much money I could over the summer and working as much as a could but there are still some expenses I had like paying for gas, food, and car insurance so I wasn’t able to save enough for school. I got most of the money needed but still need $5000. My tuition payment is due August 12th and I’m hoping that this website helps me reach my goal. Donations would mean a lot to me because college is something I’ve been looking forward for a long time and I’ve already completed two years stopping now because I can’t pay would be a nightmare, I can’t stop now and I really don’t want to fall behind on my stuff. Any amount would help, I don’t have an amazing inspirational story or anything like that, I’m just a girl looking for ways to pay for school. I usually make enough over the summer to pay for my tuition but this year it was harder because the place I used to work at closed down due to COVID and I had to find a new place to work at. It took a while to get me on a set days at my new job therefore I didn’t save as much as I originally planned on. I would really appreciate any amount anyone could give, thank you for taking your time to read my request and thank you for any donations https://www.paypal.me/alo21916
Hi there,
I’d like to introduce myself…..my name is Alexandra “Lexi” Wolf and I am 17 years old. I live in the south suburbs of Chicago.
I have always been mature for my age, possibly because I am 10 years younger than my brother and 14 years younger than my sister. I was a surprise blessing for my parents after they went through numerous miscarriages as well as the loss of one of their daughters who died from a rare genetic disorder called Trisomy 18. So, with that being said, I was always around my siblings and their friends and older adults.
I have always been a responsible kid and was very involved in gymnastics growing up so I had to be very disciplined in my schedule. My social life was limited as I had to be at practices and gymnastic meets a couple times a week. But I enjoyed having that discipline and learned to prioritize my time. My free time interests have always been spent learning makeup and hair techniques and my friends would always come to me to do their hairstyles or put makeup on them for special occasions. My mom would even ask me to do her makeup for holidays or weddings.
Family is extremely important to me and I love spending as much time as possible being around them. I have been like a second mom to my older sisters three kids and have spent countless hours helping her to raise them as her husband works long hours. They mean so much to me and they have taught me so much about what it takes to be a mom, even if I am only their Aunt and second mommy.
My school experiences were good during my elementary years until I got into Junior High. That was a changing point for me. So many kids were unruly and were getting into bad things. I was so shocked that many were already smoking and drinking and others were experimenting with drugs. I was not into that whole scene and was very disillusioned that many of my friends decided to go that route. It saddened me and turned school into a very bad experience for me as those that I had developed friendships with in my younger years now completely changed. I was so disillusioned. I realized within myself that I did not want to be around that kind of environment. By the time High School was starting and after many serious conversations with my parents, we decided that I would homeschool through my High School years. I am so happy we made that decision and I can now say because of that decision I was able to finish my High School in 3 ½ years. I am very excited about that!
With High School over I am now ready to pursue my passion. I so badly want to attend Beauty School here in Illinois but it is $25,000. There are no Scholarships for “Beauty School”, and I have tried getting Grants but I am having no luck. I have worked jobs since I was 14 and now work full-time to pay for a vehicle that I need to get to work. All of my paycheck goes for my car loan as well as car insurance and gas. My parents have always provided for our family, both of them working two jobs, but they are not wealthy people and cannot afford that kind of money.
I hate asking for help but if there is someone that can find it in their heart to help me fulfill my life’s dream I would be forever grateful and maybe one day I can pay it forward and help some other person follow their passion. Any amount would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much for taking the time to read my story and being so generous to want to help others. 💖💖
