Hi, my name is Monica and I graduated last year with my Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology. Unfortunately, the working world is not what it appears to be when you are 200,000 dollars in debt due to student loans. This is undergraduate and grad school combined. Yes, I’ve been taking out student loans since I was a freshman in college. I grew up in the West Indies, the beautiful Island of Jamaica and have always faced adversity when it came to financial situations. I never had money or “old money” in my family, everyone tried their best to maintain themselves above poverty level. I’m the first in my family to obtain a masters degree and unfortunately, I am not able to enjoy the perks of being “successful” as my family would refer to me as. I am not able to live my life the way I would like to, due to the amount of student loan debt I am in. I love my job because I am a helper and I love providing services to those in need. However, there are times I feel as if I am not able to enjoy work or life due to bill collectors calling my phone every day and me worrying about payments. Sometimes I wonder why I even went to college, it’s really a system to set minorities back like myself. Only rich people can afford college. I hope someone out there is kind enough to help. Whoever does, just know I have a heart of gold and I would do anything to help anyone. In return of your kind gesture, the universe will pay you back x10 the amount of money you gave to me. I can also provide any documents needed to legitimacy. These are my honest and genuine feelings no b/s. Have a blessed day!

Hello, my name is Nicole Peterson and I am currently entering (or at least trying to enter) my last semester (Fall 2017) of college. I will hopefully graduate with an Associate’s of Science Degree in Business Office Technology with a concentration in Electronic Health Records and Medical Coding. I have been working towards this goal for almost five years now and am so close to achieving it that it would be heartbreaking to have to wait another year due to lack of funds.

I work as a call center agent but the hours and pay will not be enough to come up with the remaining $900 I have to pay, since I also have a phone bill, car insurance payments, and a personal loan payment (that I was forced to take out instead of a student loan) to pay. I have also had to spend what I thought I could save for tuition on the cost of my certification exam registration in autumn (Certified Professional Coder Exam) which came up to $380; plus the textbooks to take the exam with which added up to $200. It’s difficult even saving up $50 a week, let alone what I would need to save in order to register for my classes in late August. My (single) mother cannot help me much financially because she is helping my grandparents, and my grandparents cannot help at all because of medical expenses.

Normally I would not resort to begging strangers for money but I am really in a tight spot. Graduating in the winter would mean that I could pursue a full-time job and finally have a stable income. I could get my family back on their feet and pay off my own debts. It would also be my greatest accomplishment to date since no one else in my family has attended university.

I have attached screenshots of my CommNet account, which is what Connecticut Community Colleges and State Universities use as their platform. My GPA is listed there (3.6 cumulative), along with proof of my major and degree.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story. Really any amount of money will help and I will be forever grateful.

Hello everyone,

My story is a bit different.My life was best few years back. ranked first in every board exam and i also participated in all academic activities.I won student of the year in my 10th level.All in all i was very good with my studies.Everyone said i will be a doctor and i secretly dreamt of that as well.I am from Nepal.We are a middle class family.My father has worked in Dubai his entire life.

My bad days started when i joined high school.I am a shy person by nature.I never get along with anyone.It is just me and my studies.I also like to be left alone.I guess it was due to this the guys in my class started picking on me.They would mutter ‘Ram,Ram'(god’s name and sometimes also used to ward off evil)whenever i passed through.I did not want to go to college.My mother used to leave in morning for her job and come by night.She never knew i was going through such social anxiety and bullying.By the time she knew i was gone into depression.

Now I am good.I just cleared my high school this year.My family has been supportive but i can’t say the same about my relatives.Whenever they see me they ask my mother what are you gonna do with her?She does not have good grades no one will marry her with her health status and such.I was just depressed but they won’t understand.

My parents can’t afford to pay for my medicine study.I am giving my all for scholarship but here everyone is fighting for that spot and seat is limited.Medicine in Nepal is a 5 year course and it costs around $50,000.I hope somebody will help me with it.I will certainly repay your money someday and i will never forget your kindness.I really hope someone will listen to my plea and help me.

I am a rising sophomore attending a small private college. I have a full scholarship which covers tuition, but does not cover textbooks, living, or access fees. All of this together costs around $5,000 per semester, approximately $1000 of which is directly tied to education – the other $4000 covers living costs.

My parents at first were willing to contribute to textbooks and access fees, but lately my relationship has become more and more strained. My parents have always been somewhat emotionally and verbally abusive, but as I have gotten older, I have noticed it more and realized that it is wrong.

Lately, the abuse has gotten so bad that I really need to get out of this house. This past year, I lived at home during the school year, but the abuse has gotten unbearable, and I need to live on campus this coming semester.

My parents are incredibly controlling. I am 19 years old and am not allowed to get a driver’s license (I do not even have a permit), and my parents control my entire life. They are also verbally demeaning. They call me offensive and cruel names and laugh at me when I tell them to stop or, eventually, begin to cry.

I have tried to get jobs over the summer,  but there are not many places hiring in my area and I cannot drive, so I am dependent upon my parents to drive me to and from work. The only places hiring are open very late and my parents will not allow me to apply there.

I do work during the school year, but I work as a tutor for my university. The demand for that during summers is quite scarce – almost nonexistent. Additionally, I am going to have to cut down on my tutoring hours next semester, because of the heavy course load I am taking and the 3.5 GPA that I am required to maintain in order to retain my scholarship.

I am planning to attend medical school after college, and I really do not want to take out student loans before then. They are crippling and I believe that they would seriously impact my life in a negative way. I can take them out if necessary, but I am attempting to avoid them at all costs.

I hate to resort to begging for money online, but at this point, I don’t see another option – this is my last resort. It destroys a bit of my pride, but I am reaching out to the people of the internet for help. Any money you can offer is extremely appreciated. Thank you so much for reading!

Hello everyone, if you stumbled upon this page and are currently reading this, I thank you from my heart and sincerely hope you can stay until the end.

Hi my name is Khalid, and I’m half-Greek-half-Egyptian. I moved to Egypt almost 2 years ago due to my father passing away and my having all relatives there. As a high school student, I had ambitions of getting quality education abroad, one that would realize my dream of becoming a researcher -and I did. With a really high SAT score and GPA, I gained admission at my top choice university, in Scotland, and I felt really thankful and blessed!

However, things took a drastic turn as my senior year came to an end. There was a significant crash in the Journalism sector where my mom worked. Just as we were navigating the financial challenges this would have on my family and high school education, things intensified even more. My uncle, who helped a lot financially, was unable to work because of an accident. And in the mix of it all, the rest of my extended family decided to cut us off. My life was literally crumbling apart, but getting good grades and keeping my mother happy was one of the ways I kept my sanity.

That year, I was forced to take a lot out of my savings. To clarify, I attended all classes and maintained high grades, but was simply unable to pay off the tuition. At the end of the year, I was faced with the tough decision to pay  the lump sum immediately (which I was saving for university) or forfeit the year. I chose the former option , but not before meeting with the financial aid office and program director and deciding this was the best way to go. You see, I was stuck in an extremely complex web. I couldn’t pay off my tuition or advance any further. As an international student at my program I was ineligible to receive loans.

Luckily there was a glimmer of hope. I was able to defer payment for the final year and half of school. This was on grounds that the coursework in question won’t reflect on my transcript until it had been fully paid for. I took this chance, as my finances began showing some improvement. However, with my mum bearing the financial burden for 3 other siblings and me, I was not able to raise enough funds as fast as I hoped.

At the end of my course work, I left town to a bigger city in hopes of raising funds to pay off my university fees. For me, returning home empty handed was not an option not after all those years of hard work and persistence. Things haven’t panned out the way I anticipated. Getting a job was difficult and without a college degree, my net income per month was barely enough to keep the lights on. With the help of a very dear friend (bless your heart), I was able to raise about $5,000  towards the tuition balance.

Things took a more urgent turn when I was contacted by my university last week with a deadline of 30 days to pay off the deposit of $8000 or lose the offer that I worked so hard to get. I literally have less than 30 days standing between me and my diploma- in need of nothing short of a miracle to raise $8,000!

It’s with trembling hands and teary eyes I draft this post, bearing out my heart on such a public platform. I have struggled with the idea of even doing this- why would people care? Is my problem that important? What would people think? But I know that sometimes it takes a village to help one succeed…

So family, friends, and passersby, your support would mean everything to me. Thank you so much for making it this far in the post and may God bless you tremendously!

3 a months limit, desperate 17 year old,  and a uncertain future. That sentence would describe my life at the moment. This is the last resort that I have, I tried applying to all places that hire underage people but somehow managed to not get in, maybe because this would be my first job and I don’t have experience or just because all those places are not looking for someone, I thought of selling stuff but at the end it wouldn’t  even make a difference. I did many trying to get money, but you may ask, why would a 17 year old need money for? buying a car? well is a little more complicated than that.

I’m trying to go back to my old hometown, there (this would sound incredibly cheesy) is the girl that I love and I wish to be with, this would be my last year with her since afterwards she would move to Europe and I will go to Florida to pursue higher education, moreover the senior year of the school is really special, they have events and fund raisers, it is also relevant to me that I lived 14 years of my life over there and my only wish is just to spend my last year of high school with the people that I knew since the begging of my life. The thing is that my parents will not go back, my sister is there but she already is having a bad time with relation to money, so she cant support me but with the money that I take there should be enough to pay school and help pay rent and get basic necessities for sometime while I save money from the job that I will get there (yes I have a secured job for me over there) . I did many things to try to get money, things that I’m not proud of and I feel disgusted with myself by just thinking about it.

If you got to the bottom of all this text I have to thank you, for taking your time to read a little about my strange life.

Any amount of donations would be highly appreciated, and please even if you don’t donate send me a message as all the support that I can get is highly appreciated. Again thank you for your time and I wish you the best in life.

In the Fall Semester of 2017 , I will be attending Howard University. Ever since I was kid I always dreamed of going to  the illustrious Howard University. The only problem is that Out-Of-State Tuition costs $12,554(yearly). I only received an on campus job from FAFSA, because I didn’t want to be in debt. I also work 3 jobs while currently finishing high school. I haven’t had any luck with outside scholarships. My mom is not right financially right now to help me, so I’m paying for my education on my own. I was accepted to two other schools ,University of Mississippi and Clark Atlanta, who both offered only FAFSA and no scholarships. I’ve been having a really hard time lately. I really want to go to Howard. I will be working at other jobs as well as my on campus job. I am in the Top 10% of my graduating class. I am a great kid with Mostly A’s and A Few B’s. I take Honors classes and have no disciplinary or attendance issues. I work hard in all my classes and always do my best. I know it sounds pretty cliche but I do all those things. I’m not like most people, and most people are not like me. When I get to Howard I want to attend Howard’s School of Business to study Management, because after getting my Undergraduate, I want to be my own boss and start my own business. I want to start out small then expand. I’m only 19, but I have huge plans for myself. I really want to go to college to better me and my family. Both me and my older brother are first generation. He wants to study in Dentistry and will be attending University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine. I graduate from school on May 25, 2017. When my name is called, and walk that stage to receive my diploma and handshake that’s when I’ll know my journey has just begun. I’ll know I have made my mother proud, me and my older sibling. My mother always told me and my brother to be better than she ever was. She also said,”Never go through all the stress and struggle to end up with a job, end up with a career. Something you’ll never get tired of.” Her voice echoes through my head everyday while in school telling me to give up and keep pushing towards the end, now I know it’s all been worth it. I live in Mississippi. All I’m asking for is $7000 to get through the first semester then I will be alright until the income starts to kick in. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this.

I am a 22-year-old college student, and I am in my fourth year of college as an environmental science major. I still have another two years however because I changed my major half way through my college career. As I am getting more into the upper-level classes and realizing what I want to do in my life I have come to realize that the Universtiy that I am at is not the one for me. The school doesn’t provide the necessary majors/minors that I am wanting to pursue. I want to major in marine and environmental biology and policy, this major allows me to learn the laws of both subjects while also getting the necessary information about both marine and environmental science to pursue a future career. The University I am at currently only allows me to major in environmental science, with no marine or oceanic classes because it is in the mountains. For the past few months, I have been researching schools with the major I want, and I have come to find that I may have found the right University for me. However already being in school for four years, I have racked up quite a bit of debt, and with a loan where I can only take out $75,000, I have already used $40,000 of that. The university that I want to go to cost about $34,000 a year because it is private (not including room and board which is another $12,000), but it is the university that will give me the best advantage for when I do graduate. The reason I am asking for help is because I know when I do graduate I will be left in debt that is over $100k, and I have to pay for my school all by myself because my parents do not make enough to help out. My education is key, and I know my parents want me to try and find a different school that will be more affordable because they are worried about how I will pay off my loan. I am not asking for $100k as I know that is a lot of money, but maybe enough so that when I do graduate I have a manageable amount of debt that I can pay off without struggling.

Dear Sir/s,

This is Pratima, 47, from India. I am a Science Microbiology Graduate. Now in financial difficulty from 2011, since I lost my job. Since then I am working in temporary jobs earning about INR 2500 ($37) per month. I am unable to get a well-paying job in India due to the age factor. I work as a Tutor and am currently not employed since summer holidays have set in. Besides my employer did not pay me for the last 2 months.

Its very difficult for me to cover even my basic expenses. I have old parents to take care of.
I am just about sustaining myself. At times, I have medical expenses to cover. I don’t visit the doctor.
I just self-medicate. I need funds for my sinus operation, but I am putting it off for now.

To enhance my job skills I joined an educational course, I paid my 1st year fees. But am unable to pay for the 2nd year. I’ve exhausted all my savings.It comes to INR 15000/. Plus I need some money for travelling to attend classes and Internship of 3 months. Total appox 35,000/-

My home roof is leaking and I need to put a shed above it before rains set in June (INR 1,50,000/-).
Unable to pay my bills, I’ve stayed without power for 4 months in 2014, and for 5 months without cooking gas in 2016. But now I am seeking help. Can you help me out with $1000 or whatever you deem fit. So that I can cover some of the above immediate expenses.

Since I lots my job, I’ve been trying to get a well-paying one, but in vain. By Indian standards too this INR 2500 per month is pathetic. I don’t have any wants Sir/s. I am not a free loader. Only I have fallen on trying times. I am wearing the same set of clothes I got stitched in 2012. They are worn out and faded now. If some amount remains from the donation you give me. I will buy a pair of clothes. I cannot apply for a loan as I don’t have a well-paying job. That why I need a donation.

I shall be extremely grateful and thankful to you, if you consider my request positively. Any amount is welcome as it will make a valuable difference to me and cover any or all of the above expenses. Depending on what I receive.

I am unable to post image as I don’t have the means, neither a camera nor a smart phone.

Thanks and much regards.
Pratima Pillai

My name is Victoria, Im 20 years old and I live in Venezuela. You may or may not know that my country is ruled with the same ideology and goverment as Cuba. The economy is wrecked and the country is falling to pieces, with problems on every possible aspect.

With this in mind, being a university student, my plan is to move out of the country to a place that offers me a real shot at life. I found that France is an amazing place, welcoming foreigners, full of possibilities. I also found that in order to move to France I need to pay for a French course at Institut Lyonnais, which costs 4.320 Euros and garantees that i learn french in 8 months. Also, for the first 3 months aprox I wont be able to work because of the language so in order to survive I would need an aditional 2.166 Euros. And last but not least, the plane ticket that depending on the season is aprox 1600 Euros.

As you can see I have all of this figured out, I´ve done my research and know exactly how much money I need to survive and have an exact plan of journey to a real life with a real future. I plan on going to France, as soon as I can get a job and start living. See, Im not looking for someone to give me everything, I just need someone that helps me to start over, someone that helps me get that impulse so I can leave this hell where I live and go somewhere that allows me to make efforts and actually get results.

Here in Venezuela, Im desperate, due to the inflation, a months salary is only 9 Dollars…so as you can see, assuming I dont spend a dime of my monthly salary a lifetime wouldnt be enought to gather the money I need to start-up

So Im begging for 8.086 Euros. Every contribution, even just a dollar, means the world to me, it means my future life, it means absolutely everything. My life depends on this, the person I will become and the lifestyle I will have depends on this. So if you do donate, thank you SO SO much, I wont ever be grateful enough for your contribution.

Hello. I am a 32-year-old woman requesting for assistance. Things have not been easy for me since childhood. I come from a humble background. From primary school to high school I depended on bursaries with hopes of a better future. In September 2005 I was enrolled in a degree program as a government sponsored student; meaning that the government paid part of my college fees. I then applied for a student loan to finance the remaining part of the fees. Fortunately, I got the loan at an interest rate of 4% per from the time of issuance. The money was sent at the beginning of each semester. At the end of my four-year study (April 2009), I had received a sum of $1,920. After successful completion, a one-year grace period was given before repaying the loan; failure would result in a fine of $50 per month. To add salt to an injury, the fine levied would also earn interest.

Being from a developing country, I did not manage to get a source of income until 2013 when I got a temporary job. I was fined for all the months starting from May 2010 to 2013 when I started repaying the loan.  The fine stopped but the amount was too big. I began by paying $15 dollars a month and later raised it to $50, however, the problem has been that the figure does not come down because of the annual interest. I have tried to request for waiver of the fine, with the reason that I didn’t have any source of income, but that has fallen on deaf ears. I really want to be out of this debt because it is reducing hence, giving me a lot of stress.

Even though I am grateful for the loan because it enabled me to get a University education, I still believe that the fine is too high. I also agree that repaying the loan will enable another student from a poor family to get a college education. The other thing that is making things more difficult for me is that the institution listed my name in the Credit Reference Bureau (CRB), meaning that I cannot borrow money from banks or any other credit facility. At the moment I cannot do anything constructive about my life as the loan currently stands at $4,600.

My plea to anyone reading this story is to please assist me with whatever you have. I believe that your assistance will help me get out of this debt and will l will reciprocate the assistance to another needy person in the future. Thanks in advance.

Hello, my name is Enrique Esquer, I’m 21 years old and I’m studying an engineering in electronics for 4 year now. I am from Mexico, and things are very hard here, my family is deep in debt and I wish I could help them, school is relatively expensive here.

When I started to study the engineering I thought it would be great, and it was until we had to buy our work instruments, my parents didn’t have money to spare at all, only money for buses, so I could never buy any of the equipment I needed and wanted. Even with this situation my grades were almost perfect.

I decided to look for a job as an English teacher to get some money. I had learned the language since I was almost 15, I worked every day, I went to work in the mornings and to school in the afternoons, I left home everyday at 7 a.m. and came back at almost 9 p.m. from Monday through Friday, even worked the whole Saturday and half a day on Sundays. This went on for 2 years, and as time passed I noticed my grades going downhill and it was no surprise, I had no time to study nor do any homework, I barely could see my girlfriend from time to time and got like 4-5 hours of sleep on a daily basis, I felt terrible, even If I worked as an English teacher jobs here in Mexico don’t pay much, and barely could pay for school but it was something less to worry for my parents.

At this time I thought that it was time to make a choice, either continue working and risking my grades and subjects or quit. I went for the second choice because I didn’t want to flunk, my parents still had no money to pay for my tuition so they asked for loans and loans, debts that to this day they still are paying and still keep on asking for more loans for me and my younger sister and brother.

Now I’m supposed to graduate in half a year, but since I am deep on debt with school they won’t give me my degree and still have to pay for graduation. I don’t know what to do, I don’t want to quit school, but my parents don’t have any money, I’ve been working with my father on weekends ever since I quit as a teacher and saving up some money but that is nothing compared to what I owe in my university, I’d need approximately $900.00 USD to be debt free with school. Thank you for reading this far and wish me luck please.

Hello I’m Bree and I am 20 years old.

When I graduated high school, none of my friends graduated with me. I managed to graduate high school a year before all my friends. My mother and sister also graduated high school early, so it only made sense that I do as well. I worked really hard considering I had to take both junior and senior classes at the same time. I cant say it was easy but it was well worth it.

I got a scholarship called the “Mitch Daniels Scholarship” for graduating early and that got me through two years of college. It covered $4000 of my first two years of school/

Sadly, my scholarship ran out so ever since I haven’t been going to college. Its been well over a year since I last took a college class.

If you’re interested in what I was going for, it was computer science. I am over half way done with my computer science degree and I don’t want to live knowing I couldn’t finish it.

 

I absolutely love computer science but my heart thinks otherwise now. Instead of computer science, I want to be a mental health therapist. Like I said I’m 20 years old now and I see a mental health therapist named Allison regularly. I’m ashamed to admit that I never told anyone what was going on in my head earlier in life. I was scared to tell people i was depressed because I didn’t think they would believe me. I kept this a secret for years until I was 19.

I’m mad at myself for not getting help earlier and that makes me even more depressed. I don’t want anyone else to feel like their mental health should be a secret.

But because I am almost finished with my Computer degree, I want to finish it and then go back to school to study mental health. But I cant do that right now.

 

Another reason thatmade me put my education on hold was not having the right equipment for my computer courses. Since my classes deal with computers, a lot of the classes I took were online. In order to contuine my degree, I need a new computer and I simply cannot get one. I currently have a 5 year desktop computer but it is very slow and is about to completely break. The computer I need is $2500 making it more expensive than half of the scholarship I used up already.

I do get FASFA but it doesn’t cover much. Fasfa doesnt cover my housing, food, school suppplies or bills so I cant afford it.

 

• Hi everyone. My name is Abigail Olaye, I am 17 years old and I need money to go to college. I graduated on the 4th of July, 2016 but I cannot go to college because my parents can’t afford it. Both my parents have been out of work for close to nine years now, they struggled to pay me and my brother’s high school fees. Although sometimes, we would be sent out of school for not paying our fees on time, they still tried their best to pay. My brother is currently in the university and my parents are still struggling to pay his fees. My dad begs his brothers for help and sometimes they mock him for it before they give him the money, and considering he is the eldest, that really hurts. My uncles have been trying to advise my dad not to let me go to school anytime soon at least because it is too expensive  and I’m guessing its also because I’m a girl. Due to our low finances, I have been checking for community colleges in the US, and I finally found one. The fees are pretty much. They cost about 8000 dollars a year. I am planning on applying for a sports scholarship though. I am 6ft 2. I’m guessing after training for it, I will get it. I am very positive about that. And also, I would like to end up as a medical doctor, almost everyone I know is against it and the reason being that I am a girl, and I really do not appreciate being underestimate because of my gender. I believe that anyone can be anything as long as they work hard for it. I have a passion for medicine and that is what I am going to study, I will be a successful medical doctor, not just for myself, but to prove to everyone that didn’t believe in me that anyone can achieve anything, whether male or female.

 

Hello to whoever is reading this. Thank you for your time. I’m from middle-class family in India and my father earns around 15k INR a month which is roughly like 230$ a month. Still with all the money he had he has always supported me and my brother and made us educated. But now he’s getting retired and I’ve no money to go for further education. My dad has been working hard all his life and now when he’s retiring I want him to rest and spend some time on himself too rather than worrying about us. But ofcourse he’s as tensed coz he wants to be able to earn myself and get into a good job after completing my studies and that’s why he’s searching for small jobs which is what I don’t want him to do. My admission will start from August  this month and I need the money by September to get into the college. Hope you would be helping me because you really have a generous heart to be reading this message of mine till here. I really want to become successful in life to give my father the life which he always dreamt for me but couldn’t live himself. He got his arm fractured last month and took minimum medicines and treatments because he didn’t want to spent too much money whereas he has never said no to any of my needs or demands no matter how much he has to struggle for it. He always holds his hand with his other arm while sleeping or sitting and I can sense and see that he must be working too hard and going through pain though he never tells us. I ask him to get treated but it will take him his two months salary so he ignore or changes the topic. I just want some money so that I can go ahead in life with my father and make him proud. I really need to get through a college and for that right now I need atleast 4000$ . I just wish you would help me with whatever u can provide this would be great. I’ve been trying to ignore asking from friends and relatives as they too refuse and have to go around them and keep asking, and I don’t want my father to do that again. Your little help can change my life.

I am currently a student enrolled at the University of Cape Town on South Africa, completing my Honors degree in Accounting. I was funded by an auditing firm throughout undergraduate studies and they had agreed to fund my studies this year.

However during the second week of March I received a call from their head office in Johannesburg notifying me, that they will not be paying for my studies any more due to financial constraints.
At this point school had already commenced and was relying on the firm cover my tuition fees and to send me a book allowance to purchase the required legislation and textbooks that are used in the across all my majors.

I had outstanding fees from the prior year which I had hoped they would help me settle so I can graduate in May 2017 however their decision to revoke the funding has affected or filtered into so many other areas that affect my academics.

I currently do not qualify for Financial Aid, I cannot get funding from any other company because I’m contractually bound to the auditing firm that has been funding me. My parents cannot afford to pay any of these amounts as I am one of five children. They also do not qualify to get loans or to sign as surety for the loans offered at commercial banks in my country.

I was devastated when I was told the firm would not be funding me because there were the only source of external financing I had. I’m honestly left with no help.

For the current year I have to pay
* Current year R43 837 which is $3 372

This is supposed to me my financial year as I am due to write my Accounting board exams in January 2018.

Any help given would be truly appreciated.

Hello to whoever is reading this. Thank you for your time. I’m from middle-class family in India and my father earns around 15k INR a month which is roughly like 230$ a month. Still with all the money he had he has always supported me and my brother and made us educated. But now he’s getting retired and I’ve no money to go for further education. My dad has been working hard all his life and now when he’s retiring I want him to rest and spend some time on himself too rather than worrying about us. But ofcourse he’s as tensed coz he wants to be able to earn myself and get into a good job after completing my studies which is why he’s searching for small jobs which is what I don’t want him to do. My admission will start from August  this month and I need the money by September to get into the college. Hope you would be helping me because you really have a generous heart to be reading this message of mine. I really wanna become successful in life to give my father the life which he always freaked for me but couldn’t live himself. He got his arm fractured last month n took minimum medicines and treatments because he didn’t want to spent too much money whereas he has never said no to any of my needs or demands no matter how much he has to struggle for it. He always holds his hand with his other arm while sleeping or sitting and I can sense and see that he must be working too hard and going through pain though he never tells us. I ask him to get treated but it will take him his two months salary so he ignore or changes the topic. I just want some money so that I can go ahead in life with my father and make him proud. I really need to get through a college and for that right now I need atleast 4000$ . I just wish you would help me with whatever u can provide this would be great. I’ve been trying to ignore asking from friends and relatives as they too refuse and have to go around them and keeo asking, and I don’t want my father to do that again. Your little help can change my life.

Good morning, I  recently got accepted to a school in Canada,’College of the Rockies’, And so, I’m here trying to get some financial help but have not gotten any so far. I recently graduated from high school in July, 2016.And I have been at home since, except for part of November until the end of December , I have gotton a job. But got laid off at the end of December. And since 2017, I have been at home since the start of the year, can’t get any job. My mother is deceased for about 11 years now, and so I grew up without a mother. Only God know how I made it this far, without her. However, my father is not financially stable and only works when the job comes. I was living with dad but I had to move and live with my eldest brother because of financial issues. And my brother don’t have it to send me to school, so I’m at home.Not doing anything and I can hardly get a job, because of my age. So that’s why I’m asking for financial assistance. I have applied for the school and I have got accepted.  Below, is a copy of the acceptance letter of the school.Thanks much.

Thank you for reading this letter of inquiry.  I am in need of 50,000 AED (Dirhams) equivalents to 13,614.70 USD.
I am currently enrolled in Manipal university Dubai campus in hospitality, travel & tourism classes. My desire is to be a philanthropist, that can help children through all the tragedies and hardships that they face in today’s world. As a career oriented person, I have wanted to be a philanthropist since I was a child. I have always been fascinated with the psyche and problems concerning the matters of others, it has been said that hospitality is key for philanthropy as many philanthropic endeavors rely on the hospitality of others. I’m making this as a last resort in hopes that I may be able to finish up this final semester, if I don’t pay my university, I won’t be able to write my final exam and that will result in me not getting my degree certificate, An education is all I’ve ever wanted .My family has been through some financial difficulties over the past years, I have a single parenting which is my mother, In addition to having to maintain a single parent household to the best of her ability, my mother has been faced with extreme adversity when searching for a job. A few years ago my mother had surgery on her humerus due to an accident. Though my mother rarely talks about her medical needs, this is not the only medical problem that she has encountered. I am concerned about the security of my future education, taking one more burden off of my mother’s shoulders would reassure me that her efforts were not in vain. I have worked so hard to be where I am today and because I am not a quitter, I am positive that with your help and encouragement. I will achieve this goal. It took a lot for me to travel thousands of miles away from my family in pursuit of an education that can give me and my family a better life. Also I want to assure and promise you that any and all assistance given to me will be used solely towards my tuition fee. Please if you want to confirm if I am telling the truth or not you can send me a mail to get my personal details and also you can send a message to my university or my dean.

Dear Beloved Donor,

 

I am writing this request with the hope that my orphanage financial issues will be reduced little with the help of yours. I am managing an Orphanage Home called “St Mary’s Boys Home” in Sri Lanka for poor school children who have lost their parents in the local civil war.

There are 60 students in the Hostel and we spend for their needs and studies as much as we can. We raise funds to operate our orphanage Hostel from local donors, known Government Body, Volunteers, and friends.

It is not easy for us to raise funds and fulfil our children daily needs. We prioritize the Education, Psychological, Health and foods for our children. However, we always run in short of financial resources in order to provide all facilities as we plan. We expect more donation from donors as much as they can sponsor us to run the Orphanage Home.

Our daily expenses for three times foods per day for all students are as follows:

Breakfast (60 Children) –    US$ 45

Lunch (60 Children) – US$ 85

Dinner (60 Children) – US$ 40

Altogether, we need US$ 170 per day only for foods. Sometimes, we will not be able to provide food as much they want, due to short of money in our hand. Besides from the foods expenses, we arrange for education classes to provide better education for them. Even though, few teachers are volunteer, we pay for them as much as our management can do because we need them to provide their services with happiness. This education expense for a month for all students is almost US$500.

In order to operate this Orphanage Home, we need to meet our other daily expenses such as utility charges – Electricity, Water, and Gas. And we pay very low amount of rental for the place we occupy on lease basis. These main operational and admin expenses are nearly US$700 per month.

We arrange special outing for children to make them happy since they were badly affected due to local civil war, and some events are sponsors. Whenever we receive the little assistance in terms of finance, free services, sponsors for events, we are very happy with what we have and how we are blessed by God to manage our Orphanage Home.

We have sent many letters and request seeking financial assistance to many third parties. As we believe in God, we request you all Donors to provide generous support to manage our daily foods expenses. Your single Dollar donation is highly appreciated.

We seek financial assistance to build bright future for poor children who were badly affected due to domestic civil war.

We thank you all in advance.

God Bless you All.

Thank you

I am a very dedicated student, and I love taking courses at my university. I also work to cover tuition, housing, and personal expenses, but I would like the chance to get an internship (usually low-paying, or not paid) and focus more on my studies. My degree plan is in Natural Sciences with a concentration in Biology. I want to intern at a local wildlife reservation, but it is a non-paying position. I know the experience would be great for my education, and it would give me the skills to be a great conservationist someday.

In order to take a non-paid position, I need enough money to cover at least my housing expenses and tuition. I could still work a part-time job for personal expenses and school fees. My housing and tuition costs are as follows:

• Rent: $500/month
• Electricity: $80/month (on average)
• Internet: $30/month (needed for homework)
• Tuition is about $10,456 per year.

The total housing cost per month is about $610, and the cost per year is about $7320.

My total goal is $17,776 to cover tuition and housing expenses for one year.

I appreciate anything that anyone can offer to help.

My Plan:
I am in a five year program, and I still have about two to three years left before completing my bachelor’s degree. I plan to continue taking my courses and take on an internship. If I reach my donation goal, I can continue to take courses and learn in the field with my future peers.

More about me:
I am sincere in my desire to learn and help conservation efforts. Lack of money is the only reason why I can’t take on an internship. I am a 30 year old female, with work experience in a different field. I still work full-time. I live in a modest apartment on my own. My passion at the moment is becoming well-educated in the Natural Sciences and contributing to the field in the future. My fellow students are amazing and friendly, and we work great together as a team. I often do not get to participate in their side-research and projects because I am too busy with work.

Please consider donating to help me do well in school. I don’t want to have to drop out because I don’t have enough money. I am currently asking for a total of $17,776 to cover the cost of tuition and housing expenses for one year. I truly appreciate anything you can do to help.
Thanks!

 

 

Hi, thank you for taking the time to read my message :) . I’m in a bit of hole right now. It’s kind of a long story but I’ll sum it up as best as I can! I recently obtained my associates degree! Yay! SO I decided, since at the time I had the funds from , I would try my chances with the study abroad program of my dreams. It was a difficult program to get into because of the requirements and essays needed but I did it. With doubt on my side, I waited for a response from the program. A few weeks later, I received an acceptance letter! I was so excited. During this time, I was really struggling with my living situation and I had to unfortunately dip into my funds to get a new place and furniture. I used close to $5000/$11,000 of my funds. So I was so happy to have gotten accepted but saddened that I used some of my funds. I know what your thinking, why didn’t you get a loan or student aid? Well, I thought I would be able to work enough overtime to make up for it. When I realized it wasn’t going to happen because of my bills, I looked into a private student loan. I was told it would take a month or two for the certification process and disbursing to complete. That would surpass my deadline… I looked into a personal loan but I had little to no credit. You know the saying when one door closes another door opens well that was me trying to find funding for this tuition. I was knocking on every possibility. I even looked into winning the lottery! but I never thought of just simple asking people for a helping hand. So here I go and I sincerely would appreciate the assistance. I’m hoping and praying for a miracle.

I’m a 25 years old student from Venezuela that wants to finish her studies in USA, for it to happen I need $50.000 USD to pay for tuition and living expenses. I’m a graphic design student that can’t finish the degree in her country because the law doesn’t recognize my college’s program and only let’s them issue a course certificate for a 3 year degree program that according to the working world it’s value is the same as a 40 hours course. Basically none, just some sweetener for the curriculum.

My parents can’t afford to pay for my studies in Venezuela or outside of it and considering the political situation they would feel better knowing I’m not in the country, at the same time me being on the outside gives me the opportunity of helping them by working part time while studying so I can save some money to help them financially and whenever I can send them some grocery items that are currently unavailable or too expensive in Venezuela.

So my reasons are pretty basic, I can’t afford to pay for my education and my parents can’t either, so I’m looking for people’s help to finish my studies and help my family through a difficult time in our country. Economically in Venezuela my parents can survive and pay the bills and that’s enough but the money runs out when it comes to food since it’s so scarce and expensive not to mention that both of them are entering their elderly years according to the law here, meaning it’s counter productive for them to do long lines in the grocery stores to buy food that won’t last 2 weeks and it’s something that they have to do every week.

So I’m throwing myself a pity party in hopes to find people out there that will sympathize with my situation and would like to help me finish my studies and help my family and if your one of them I would really appreciate your help. While I do have an older sibling that already left the country to study he’s the kind of guy that doesn’t save any kind of money and as soon as he gets paid he uses the money, so he basically isn’t the kind of guy that could help our parents or me because he simply doesn’t know how to save money to save his life.

I didn’t meant to throw him under the bus but he’s just irresponsible when it comes to anyone but himself and that’s why I’m counting on perfect strangers to help me and by extension my family to accomplish great things in my studies and future career.

So if you are one of this people please help me, donate how much you are willing and help me spread the word so I can reach the $50.000 USD goal.

thanks for the attention.

I’m not really sure if this works but I am desperate and it’s probably worth a shot, I guess?

I’m an 18-year old student from the Philippines. I have been in debt since my last year of high school where everything else in my life had started going downhill. I’m the youngest in my family and probably the first one of us to ever finish with a college degree if I get to pay my tuition and debt. I know that everyone here has their own stories which makes life right now sounds so bad. It it, though. Even in other countries. Anyway, as I said, I am desperate because I’m 8 classes away from graduating college and I couldn’t do it because of such high tuition fees in my school that I’m currently attending at. I am currently taking a Bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology which my family has been financially struggling with just to keep me in school. My family and I do not have a regular incoming because our only provider was my father but he died in 2015 which left us all in a state of shock and made struggling with my tuition fee harder. My mother can’t find a job because she has a medical history and she is also 58 and in a not-that-good shape.

The high school debt I said earlier was that during my last year in high school, my parents didn’t get to pay a full year’s worth of tuition due to also sturggling with rent and other things. Duing that time, my school let me continue to study there even if I haven’t paid my monthly dues, but it all stacked up until it was already graduation. I did graduate, but all my credentials are being held until I pay. It was roughly amounting to PHP 36,000 or around $724 (says google) and since then, we couldn’t save up because life just kept hitting us with more and more problems. When I got into college, my mother and I had to talk to a lot of the college staff explaining how I wasn’t able to provide requirements such as my high school diploma, good morals proof, and my grades during senior year. We promised that we would give the school all the requirements needed before I become a graduating student. But alas, life hit us again, with my father dying, we really didn’t know what to do. Not only that, the remaining classes that I have left before I graduate are priced higher because it was an elective class. The school administrator explained that these classes cost about PHP 3,520 with an additional fee of PHP1,600 as laboratory fee for EACH class. I have 8 left before I get to graduate and finally help my mom with our financial struggle which means I am in need of roughly PHP 13, 400 or $270.

All in all, I’m struggling with paying a total of $994. A lot for an 18-year old, right? It would actually mean a lot if you donate because every dollar counts. I just really want to finish my studies since I’m so determined to find a stable way to financially support my mother and I.

Thank you and may God bless you.

 

 

I honestly don’t know how this works? But here’s my PayPal.

            I went through a lot starting at 3 weeks old. My biological mother had me, but couldn’t take care of me. So, it was either be put into foster care or be taken in by a family member. Luckily, I was taken by my grandparents. Although I was in good hands, I was still going through things at a young age from not having my dad, mom, and struggling with money, etc. At age 11 my dad got locked up, et cetera. it hit me hard because I am a daddy’s girl and I couldn’t see him anymore. At age 15 I lost my uncle who was like a second dad. I was going through a lot. At the age of 16 I lost my great grandmother. It was very hard on me dealing with my first two death experiences, especially being two of the most important people in my life.

            My 11^th grade year I struggled in class, I was always an A and B student, but that year I finished with C’s. Senior year I came back harder and got A’s and B’s. I was still struggling with money and family problems. I wasn’t able to take senior pictures and I missed out on some senior activities and worst of all not having my dad there at my graduation was difficult on me. I got lucky though, He surprised me the day after at buffalo wild wings.

            Starting college was so hard because during my 11^th grade year I didn’t get the hope scholarship like I wanted to. So, when it was time to pay my tuition I had to pay over $500 which we didn’t have and then I had to pay for books. What made it even harder is that after I started college, we had just found out that my Aunt had a baby.  Unfortunately, just like me, the baby had to be adopted. She was adopted by my grandmother, who had also taken me in.

            After I started college, my grandparents were so relieved that soon they would be done paying for school and now they would be able to relax. But now they have to wait another 18-21 years before their able to relax.

            Also, being the first generation college student is stressful with all the little ones looking up to me to finish and the adults relying on me to finish. I feel as if my high school did not prepare me for college, even my grandmother said it. I was so stressed out my first semester. I struggled with keeping up with all of my assignments online which hurt me in the worst way.

            I didn’t do so well with my classes my first semester. I was so scared to tell my grandparents because I felt like they’d be disappointed in me. Instead, they stood by me and helped me understand that second chances are what you need sometimes and I’m glad that I’m getting that second chance.

            I’m ready for spring semester so I can start fresh and prove to myself and my family that I can do what others cannot. I just want the chance to make my grandparents proud and hopefully if I get a couple of scholarships give my grandparents the break they deserve. 

This is an impassioned cry for help. I would never have done this, but my options have all but run out.

I am a divorced, single mother of two young children. I am a teacher, and I work in a gang-infested, crime-ridden area in Cape Town, South Africa. I believe I have an excellent work ethic, and strive to uplift the students I teach. In addition to my day job, I have trained over 400 teachers in a methodology for teaching English language to students who struggle. I also run study skills workshops for high school learners and I also tutor two students privately. I do all of this free of charge as my investment in my community. I am a Catholic and I am an organist in our parish.

The year commenced on a high. However, from February, things started going awry financially as my children’s father’s business collapsed. This meant that I no longer received alimony for them. Amongst   my monthly expenses, I have a car, school fees, school transport and all the daily living expenses to pay. I am a teacher and my salary does not cover all the expenses.  We have been getting along by the sheer grace of God.

Now, all my options have completely dried up. I can no longer access loans, am in over my head with debt as a result, and just about manage to pay some of my debt every month. Every month I pay my debt. So I’m asking for money for my most urgent needs – for things I will not be able to pay for or buy.

The most urgent need is that of my children’s school fees. My ex-husband was responsible for paying  school fees and he has not been able to pay this since March of this year. I fear that my children may not have a school to attend come January 2017, when the schools re-open. My son has finally found some stability at this school as he had been depressed and suicidal and constantly attending counselling. This was the first year in five years that he had not needed counselling. My daughter has just started high school this year.

I list here the expenses for which I am raising funds:

	Item	Amount in USD
2	School fees (for 2016 & registration for 2017)	3200
3	Stationery for school, book fees, uniform	1000
5	TOTAL	4200

i am moha mahad gabeire i am a student, i wan’t to online course named techdegree

which is worth $199/month i don’t have money to buy this course really, i’m very in need this course please help me to learn this course because i highly need to learn if you help me i will pray for you and wish you luck, i can get job in just 3 to 12 months with a Techdegree.

thank you.

Hi everyone, my name is Eunice and I am from Michigan. I am currently studying for my doctorate degree which is geared toward helping the next generation learn how to approach life in a non-violent manner. I do contract work to cover my tuition when i can get the work,  however I am short of $3500 and am concerned that I will not be able to raise the amount of $3500 needed to pay tuition and graduation expenses. I must pay this before the beginning of January in order to keep up and graduate.  I would be extremely grateful if you would give a small donation that could save a human life. No amount is too small. Thank you so much for your token of love to me and those I serve.  May God shower many blessings upon you everyday.

Hello everyone! My name is Veronica and I’m from Slovenia, Europe. This year I finished high school and I really want to further my education. My family can’t really support me anymore. My dad just lost his job and my mom is always working really hard and is hardly home because of her job. I really want to help my family and give them back everything they gave to me.

I always try to look for jobs to help my family but it’s hard to find something with my age and education I currently have. The jobs I had were only for short time and were really low paying but it was enough for me to support myself so I didn’t have to ask my parents. I’m planning on studying economics so I can get a better job to help my parents. My dad also has some medical problems and he can’t really work a normal job anymore so it’s really hard.

I always studied hard and had really good grades so I really want to continue my studies. I’m really interested in economics and accounting.

I also have a little brother and I want for him to have a good childhood, so I would really appreciate if you could help me with some money. Any amount would be greatly appreciated.

If you good people could help me with any amount of money even the smallest you can give me I would really appreciate it so much.

Thank you in advance.

Veronica
