Hi! My name is Ashley and I am 18 years old. I am trying to raise money for fees regarding college. I am planning to attend the University of East London studying Biomedical Science/Neuroscience. My tuition and housing are being covered by FAFSA and housing. Unfortunately, about a month ago my mother kicked me out and refused to pay for my college at 12:00 on the dot of my 18th birthday. This happened after years and years of emotional, verbal, and physical abuse. I’m devastated that this happened but I do not want to give up on London and my dream of going to college, especially after so much effort and planning and being SO close to getting there.

I only have to cover the student visa application fee, biometrics, my flight to London, and some basic living essentials to keep me on my feet until I can get a job over there (I am already looking at potential jobs and have gotten some offers.)

All I’m asking for is about $3,500 which will strictly be used to cover these costs. Anything helps, thank you so much in advance!

Hi, I am 19 years old and about to start my sophomore year in college. When I was in high school I knew exactly what I wanted, freedom. When I accepted into University 4 a state away and on a partial scholarship, I jumped onto the opportunity. Now freedom was not the only reason I went to school, I plan on pursuing a career in child protective services as a social worker. I feel quite passionate about helping the helpless. Luckily My financial aid was able to cover the rest of the costs of my tuition. The only costs that were left onto me were the housing fees which were manageable but only with a part time job. 

Unfortunately during the last semester I was diagnosed with depression. This affected every aspect of my life. I lost 30 lbs in about 2 and a half months, and was unable to leave my room or even my bed unless I had work or class. Sometimes I wasn’t even able to do that. This was a factor that caused me to not do so well in school. This eventually led to a downward spiral of me not prioritizing my mental health and ultimately failing in every aspect of my life. Due to my incredibly low grades that resulted from the semester, I have had both my financial aid and partial scholarship revoked.

Now that I am not in school I have reached out to and been put on medication along with being paired with my amazing therapist. I have also reached out to my university who, while sympathetic, can not return my scholarship until I have a semester to prove an upward change. The same goes with my financial aid. I have also been working two jobs for the majority of the summer in effort to raise the money independently. 

I have tried so many things to make ends meet. I am confident that I will stay on the track I am on with the new support system I have. I just need this one chance to start over. This is kind of my last option, I’m sorry to bother and ask for this much money. I have been able to get about half of tuition money raised. I need about $20,000 of my $45,000 tuition. Thank you so much for hearing me out. Truly any amount would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, my name is JJ and I’m pretty much a broke college student. I know that there are probably loads of other people out there that need money (so many people do) but I’m hoping that you’ll take a second to consider donating to me.

As I’ve said, I’m a college student currently studying psychology. My ultimate goal is to become a practicing clinical psychologist. I’ve always wanted to help people and I work hard and am really good at psychology (no, I’m not bragging), but that isn’t really enough to cover all of my costs. Because I’m a full-time student and I am involved in things on campus, I can only really have one part-time job, so I work about twenty to twenty-five hours every week, but it’s at minimum wage and I need to pay for my groceries, gas, insurance, etc. so most of that money goes towards that.

To be honest, I can get by, I always have been able to but it is a struggle. I’m in my last year of undergrad and I’ve had to pay to take the GRE test which has taken a significant chunk out of my savings. Mostly, I need money to help build my savings so I am able to go to grad school and actually live. I need to be able to afford an apartment and the rest of my expenses (like food, gas, and other bills).

I’m pretty much a straight-A student with a GPA of 3.8 and all I really want to do is help people any way that I can and I know that clinical psychology is the right field for me to accomplish it. However, I am extremely worried about being about to do so. I am not a partier nor am I in the habit of purchasing unnecessary things so any money that is donated will not be used to buy things like that. Instead, one of my favorite things to do is cook, so any money that is not immediately put into my savings account will be used for my weekly grocery bill.

Depending on the donation, I will also use that money towards my tuition and other schooling bills. I have taken a loan out, but to be honest, I would really rather not borrow any more money than I already have to cover those costs. I will also need to purchase textbooks and a couple of other odds and ends that add up (like notebooks, pens, toiletries, etc.)

Really, any donation would be extremely helpful, whether its a couple dollars or more and I would very much so appreciate it. Thank you so much!

I’m currently a University Student and sadly I’m not the best in obtaining grants and scholarships so I have been relying on student loans. I’d like to prevent going into further debt. I work minimum wage and most of it goes towards basic necessities and saving up for a car, so I’m basically broke and unable to afford University pricings on my own. I attend University in South Carolina, USA. Any help is truly appreciated as I’m putting most of what money I have currently towards this post.

Hello,

I am a full-time student at UF, and I am seeking money for help with my tuition fees and living costs. I come from a low-income family and they are unable to support me on my journey in college, which limits my college opportunity and experience.

I am a pre-dental student; school, studying, and extracurricular activities take up all of the time required for me to do well in school. I am an extremely dedicated student and spend all of my days and nights inside of the library doing homework and studying. This makes it extremely difficult to get a job, since my academic performance would suffer. As a first-generation student, it is rather difficult accumulate to college, since I cannot have any advice on courses or cannot afford any tutoring in my high-intensity classes. I am asking for this help so I can continue focusing on my studies to meet my goal of being able to become a dentist. With these donations, I could also focus on volunteering, extracurriculars, and giving back to my community while in school.

When I become a dentist, I plan on making a difference in this world and giving back to poor communities that cannot afford expensive dental care. I hope to grow and help others who worry when they will be able to take their child to the next doctors visit. I plan on becoming a doctor that cares about and prioritizes their patients and can help as much as possible. I have always yearned to help people and make their way of living better in any way. Coming from low-income, I can relate to the stress of not being able to afford a doctor’s visit and having to push back the years I visit, no matter how important health may be. You would be taking a chance on me in helping needy communities.

It is important for me to reach my goals to ensure I can take care of my family when I am older. I have always wanted to provide for my family and sacrifice for them as they did for me. Your donations would help me break the cycle of poverty within my family and to be able to provide for my parents in old-age and my future kids.
Thank you for your time in reading, and I hope you can help me in my journey to success.

I am asking for around $4,000 but anything helps. Thank you again.

Hello everyone, thank you for clicking on my story, I am a 22 year old Latina.

A little back story about me, I was born and raised in Texas up until I was 8 years old. In November of 2006 ICE arrived to our house and took my parents to jail to later sent them back to where they are from (Guatemala) due to them entering the country illegally many years ago. My parents were trying to get their papers fixed, however they unknowing went to a scammer who never did anything to help them. A month after my parents were deported my sisters and I joined my parents in Guatemala and I lived there for almost 10 years, since 3^rd grade up until I graduated high school.

I graduated high school back in 2015, in Guatemala, and once I graduated I bought a plane ticket to come back to the US to have a better education. I knew that this was the best opportunity for me and that I was extremely lucky, however I had to leave my whole life in Guatemala, including my parents. I was attending a community college from Fall of 2016 up until Spring of 2018 where I failed my classes for the second semester due to suffering with depression and anxiety from leaving my life in Guatemala and also not knowing what I actually wanted to do with my life. Although it did take me a while to get out of the dark places my mind went during that time, I was able to discover what I want to do in life and that is Social Work.

I was saving up money these last couple of years to be able to pay for college, however due to COVID-19 I lost my job. I am currently only working a part time job that barely pays for my living expenses (I get paid $450 every two weeks). I spent most of my savings on paying bills and living expenses like food and gas, and although it was my fault for failing classes in the past I am not able to apply for financial aid. Therefore I need to pay my college tuition out of pocket.

For this semester alone I need around $18,000 to pay for tuition, I talked with an Advisor from the school and they told me that I could make payments however they would charge me an extra fee for every payment I made. I know it is a lot of money, however I really do appreciate any donation you could make, no matter how small it is. In the end anything will help to be able to fulfill my dream and make my parents and myself proud and no longer ashamed of my past.

Hello, my name is Taylor and I’m a hugger, not a fighter. A lover, not a hater. All my life I have been helping people out with their needs and less cared about my own. It’s not that I’m too shy to ask for help it’s just I always saw it as giving up and admitting you’re weak, but then I realized that asking for help should be the first thing because it shows your interest and passion for something. Also, others might have the same question and are stuck as well even though you thought they had it all figured out. I want to go to Baker college in Cadillac in August but there is no way I can get 10,00+ some if I want to do housing which I really do. I want to be a psychologist more importantly a youth counselor. I like helping people but helping people in that way is always more fun and better. At my house instead of treat others the way you want to be treated it is more treat others more then you would treat yourself. There are five of us at home but the one that does everything is me; the youngest. I do everything except cook, do their laundry, and pay bills. Oh and no groceries since I don’t have a car or a license. Even when I did school at k12 on my computer every time they asked for something I did it. I tried everything from brownie points to just straight asking whether it be to go to a friend’s house or the nearest grocery store growing up. They always said no, but it’s time I treat myself. No one deserves anything but it is nice to have it and get away for a while. If you can’t give $10,000 can you at least give $400? It would be much appreciated. Thanks! Have a great day, *huge virtual hug, and see you when I see you next.
