To the kind Angel/Stranger – Please read it don’t ignore. This is can really help me and my family.

My name is Ravi. I go to school and work hard to keep my family going. In 2015 I went to school for my masters degree and completed with the help of loan. I got a job and thought I will pay off all my debt and also help my old parents to live a happy life. When I got a job I applied for car and bank approved my a loan at that time my credit was very good. So I was happy how things were moving but then I got laid off and all the student debt and car loan and credit card debt came on head. I was depressed and sad with this situation. But I never gave up I started working on a hotel as front Desk to support my self and my family of five and keep making payments on my debts. But soon I started getting stressed as I was not making enough money and was falling behind on payments. It was becoming hard for me to even manage rent and get food for me, kids and parents. Because of this stress and trying to provide food and shelter to my family I started taking payday loans which I never knew that is the worst place to go. And by taking those loans I put myself in more problems. They are very expensive to pay but I still thanks god that at that time it helped me. From one pay day loan I jumped to other to pay the one I took before and got my self in big mess. Frustration, stress and depression made me out of control and I argued with my girlfriend in a mall and someone complained and I got into DV. She tried to tell cops that she don’t want to proceed but they didn’t listen and I got misdemeanor on my record. That’s the only thing that is hunting me till now and I haven’t been able to find a good paying job that can get me out of all this big debt. Not being able to pay my school I haven’t even got my Degree (I still owe around $2800 to school before I can get my Master’s degree). I still have a full time job but it doesn’t help me. I pay rent, light bill, gas, sometime car payment, phone and try to put something towards my debt. My life is becoming very hard and I struggle through every single day to provide food for my kids and family. It’s sad to see that I can’t take my little one’s anywhere. They just always in the home I feel like I have just put them in prison. I cry everyday and pray to god to help me somehow. Because of all this mess I have ruined my credit also now its in 400’s and no one wants to give me loan. From lost 3 years I am driving a broken car with no bumper and tail light. Not even a $150 plan I am able to keep up with my school so that I can pay it off. I feel like my situation is just getting worse. In 2 days my car payment for $300.0 is due and I am 75 days behind i.e. missed 4 payments and I am under banks collection and repossession department.  Today my My parents are very old and they supported me a lot in life and I have failed at every point to help them. My mom and dad have diabetes and my dad even had leg surgery.  My mom always tells me to trust god he will do everything good and that’s what has kept me going. This is my last hope. To come out from all this situation I need $12,000 and I believe there are still good peoples out in this world who can take someone like my out of this problem. If each one of 12,000 people just donate $1.00 it can bring me and my family back to life. Anyone who helps me and If he/she can give me couple yrs like 2-3 I can return this back to you. I have attached pic just to show you few of what I owe.

My daughter began dancing at the age of 4. She studied at the Richie School of Dance and became a paid assistant/instructor at an early age. She then attended the Capital Area School for the Arts, as a dance major, under the tutelage of Rosemary Battista. She was always the lead and called upon to choreograph pieces for shows in the Harrisburg area. At 18, she discovered the aerial arts with a very small outfit here in central PA called Artz N’ Motion. 

At an audition in Virginia, she ran into the father of an instructor for the Cirque School. The Cirque School, located in Los Angeles, was founded by former Cirque Du Soleil artist, Aloysia Gavre. As a part-time waitress, she saved $6,000 and at 19, bought a one way ticket to LA to attend the school. She did have an uncle living in Echo Park which made a place for her to stay very easy. However, 3 months into her training, his mental stability came into question and my daughter literally called an Uber to LAX, buying a ticket on the spot to fly back to Harrisburg.  

The 3 children that I raised, to quote a junior high teacher, are “not just great students, but they are awesome human beings.” I am very lucky, but one thing I am not, is wealthy. I am employed at a chain grocery store on the east coast, as a meat manager, and cannot help her nearly as much as I want to. My goal is to get her back out to the Cirque School. 

She is a worker. She has a connection for employment at the local Rite Aid and will rely on the metro system (public transportation) to avoid all vehicle costs and maintenance. She is very aware of the costs of living in LA and is willing to seek out a roommate. I feel that if her rent/housing was taken care of, her employment would pay for her classes and training. Funds could easily be paid to the property owner directly, if preferred. Funds could also be paid directly to the Cirque School. 

To put expenses into perspective, reasonable lodging ranges anywhere from $1,000-$2,000 per month. Some apartment complexes that are within walking distance of the metro include, Studio Village Apartments, Serenity Apartments, Carlton Way Towers and The Gershwin.  

Training expenses range from (on her most recent class schedule) $250-$290 per week, averaging around $15,000 a year. The more she advances, the more expensive classes become. Her goal is to train seriously for 2 solid years. 

She has always been the best at everything she has done. I believe the instructors at the Cirque School will vouch for my daughters work ethic, abilities and potential. I would welcome anything to help my daughter chase her dream. 

My name is Rob and I can be contacted at burtonbilliards@gmail.com. My daughter’s name is Kaylea. She may be contacted at kaylea.burton@gmail.com. She has also built her own portfolio website which includes all her work up until 2018. This can be viewed at kayleaburton.wixsite.com/danceraerialist. Password- viewnow

If there is one thing that I hate the most is asking people for money mostly because I don’t deserve anyone’s hard earned money but as of now I am in a situation that is not only making my drops but it is also affecting my mental health. Let me explain how I got to this position. I am an first generation low income student, because I am first generation I didn’t get enough advice about college, no one told me that as soon as I started my first term that I would have to pay a bill this high. My dad is the only person in my household that works since my mom had to leave her job in 2014 because my younger sister who is currently 6 years old fell ill and she hasn’t been able to return because she is having health issues herself is getting surgery on October 30. In May of this year my dad got laid off his job because there wasn’t enough work and since then my dad has been desperately searching for a job, he also got in bad car wreck which caused us to lose one of our cars, thanks to the God almighty that my dad wasn’t badly injured but with the money he received from the loss of the car he was able to pay bills that we had overdue but until now he hasn’t been able to find a stable job. I recently had to get a work-study job and I will be using all the money from my first paycheck to cover part of my bill but it still isn’t enough to cover half of the bill, since right now I am not getting financial help from any of my family members I am basically paying this bill alone until my dad is able to help me. I am selling myself out by applying to as many scholarships that I can but my effort isn’t enough either because I haven’t been able to win anything but I am going to keep try hopefully I win some money to help cover next term’s bill. Please if you could help me with anything that would be of great help, there is no other way I can pay back but I will try my best in school to get good grades to make every donation worth. Thank you so much for hearing my story, may God bless you all the time!

Hello, whoever’s reading this. My name is Oliver Anderson, and I’m 17 years old. I’m not prone to use mediums like this often to “beg for money,” but I’m approaching a juncture in my life in which that may actually be required. My family and I are from Albuquerque, New Mexico, but are now living in Lexington, Missouri because of circumstances I will now divulge. We have always been poor, with a total family income of around $40,000 and parents working nearly 80 hour work weeks. On top of this, our household was composed of five people- both of my parents, myself, my brother, and my grandfather, who has just recently passed. While I was always very invested in my education and have dreamed of attending college and earning a degree in theoretical mathematics (of which I’ve already found myself theorizing upon), my brother was not, and he became a heroin user while I was still very young. After stealing from my family, putting us through physical and emotional abuse, and drug dealing himself, our household had no choice but to pay for my brother to get help in rehab. Being that we’d tried this route before with many facilities paid for by our insurance that didn’t work, we tried something drastic, putting him in a 4-year, approximately $50,000 facility called Habilitat in Hawaii. Of course, we couldn’t pay for this all ourselves, and we resorted to asking longtime family friends for some aid in this matter. Now, we were completely drained of money and on top of this, we were receiving threats of violence from people whom my brother owed money from his times of dealing drugs. Panicked, my family moved almost immediately to Missouri (and this was only a few months ago at this point; around July) out of want to start a better life altogether. After selling our house and buying a new one here, (around $45,000), we have around $5,000 at our disposal and no future ways of receiving income in place here. My dad did production work for a major orchestra in Albuquerque, and he’s very qualified for a job like that, but he doesn’t have a college education and he both he and my mom (who was a substitute teacher) wouldn’t be able to support our situation on minimum wages. In our new house, we haven’t had money to buy new appliances, such as a refrigerator or a microwave, and we have to store our food in a cooler. We don’t have home wifi, and the only way I’m typing this right now is I’m on the town library’s internet on a chrome-book I was able to buy from my friend for $80. On top of this, I’m 17, want to pursue a career in math and attend a college with a great program where that’s concerned, but we don’t have the money to fund it. I’m trying to apply for as many scholarships as I can at our state school, but that’s not a sure way of achieving my dream. If someone is reading this, please. I want to go to college, specialize in something, unlike my parents, and have a happy life with a career I enjoy. Thank you so much, and God bless.

When I was fifteen years old I moved out of my mother’s house into my fathers. August of 2016 At the time he had been on probation for six years and his full probation was seven years. When he got out he started drinking again and stopped working because of how bad he got, he spent all his money on drugs and alcohol and did not feed me. He sexually assaulted me and my friend to the day children youth services came to get me and take me away back to my moms. I was okay with it because i love my mom and did not want to move in the first place. On January 28th 2019, I found my mother dead in her room on her bed. At the time I was watching my baby brother and figured she was just sleeping in because she needed it. Turns out she accidentally overdosed on prescription pills from forgetting she already took her medicine and took it again. She left behind me, her daughter and her 3 sons. My mother, and my best friend being dead broke my heart as it, but finding her ruined me mentally and emotionally. I have severe anxiety even before that situation and it has only gotten worse. I have depression but it is not as severe as my anxiety. I am starting college soon and i have no parents by my side to support me emotionally or with bills and expenses I will have for college. I plan on applying for as many scholarships as I can but those aren’t promised and that doesn’t help me pay for food, bills at home.

I need help. I have a job but it nearly isn’t enough to keep up with payments and I know someone else who went to the same college for the same major and they are browning in debt. I want a good like, not a life where I work to pay back the money, my whole life. Any amount will help, it adds up trust me, especially when you have nothing. Thank you so much for taking your time to read this, and if you do donate, thank you for helping and supporting me reach my dream. Never in a million years would I think I would ever have to take this path, but I also imagined a life with both my parents. Again, thank you.

My name is Chantele and I’ve been emotional/mentally abused by my mother since I was a little kid. I see a therapist but it’s still hard to face when I come home everyday. I currently cant take out another school loan for next semester because of my high debt from no financial help while away. I am working a full time job, but its still hard to pay off debt. I would like a way to get out of the situation I am in, because it’s really hard to move forward when your constantly made to feel bad about yourself. I try to take out a secure loan on car, but it didnt pass. I am currently looking for a second job, but any help would be great. Thank you so much. Located in NYC if anyone has a job they can help with.

Hi,

My name is Maximiliana and I am a student at the University of Rochester majoring in philosophy and minoring in Brain & Cognitive Science (3.93 GPA) while living at home.  My family would be able to help with my tuition and resources if they did not have exorbitant medical bills.  My mother suffers from several extremely debilitating autoimmune disorders (including multiple sclerosis and systemic autoimmune disease) and is on disability, and my father has Crohns disease, lung disease, and asthma and should but cannot afford to be on disability.  They have both been in and out of the hospital several times for long stints due either to surgery or spontaneous health crisis for the last two years (longer for my mother); my father was just recently in the hospital three weeks ago for a blood infection, and narrowly survived what is usually a fatal heart attack (5% of people survive the type he had) early in February of this year; and my mother just returned from over a week in the hospital due to respiratory problems and an abnormal heart rhythm.   Furthermore, I have an intersex condition that I need surgery for (I have my surgical consults scheduled for spring and summer of next year), which thankfully should be covered by insurance but will require me to stay in NYC for nearly half a year, which I must pay for out of pocket.  My family’s physical health creates logistical obstacles in the form of finance and everyday living, but also in terms of mental health.  It’s extraordinarily upsetting for all of us to have such cripplingly severe physical health issues, so we have mental health issues as well due to the chronic stress induced by the unremitting bleakness of our situation.

Due to the health care system in the U.S., my parents have over sixty thousand dollars in medical bills to pay off this year alone in addition to all of the other expenses that come with paying off a house, a car, etc.  However, because my family’s taxes show us in a particular income bracket, our expected contribution to the university is higher than we can reasonably accommodate given our extensive medical needs and their associated costs.  My mother is almost immobile and needs 24/7 care, but we lack the finances to support that and I am busy taking twenty credits a semester, teaching at my university, applying to graduate school, and hopefully soon working in student government, so I have little time to help when I am present, which is uncommon due to my schedule and workload.  The pittance I make as an undergraduate teaching assistant does not put a dent in my loans or allow me to help pay for food, and despite working two jobs over the summer to pay off seven thousand dollars worth (while preparing for graduate school applications and dealing with mental health crises), I still owe close to twenty thousand.

Any help you could offer me would be enormously valuable.  I work extremely hard to be successful but have considerable obstacles placed in front of me because of my own and my family’s health.

I am writing this request with nowhere else to turn- I work full time, two full-time jobs over the last two summers, have done everything the “right” way and yet I am still unable to scrounge up enough to go to the school of my dreams.

Let me tell you a little about myself. In high school, I was the captain of my improv team, participated in musicals and plays, and was always starting a new project. My love for performing arts is rivaled by nothing else. I also have bipolar disorder, which has landed me in the hospital a few times over the last couple of times but I can proudly say that I have opened myself up to help and through the help of a wonderful therapist I am on the right track.

Last year, I was accepted into the Theatre School at Depaul University, enrolled, secured a roommate, and just as everything was going too good to be true, my parents disowned me due to religious differences. I was crushed. Without their help, I couldn’t nearly afford to go to Depaul. However, I picked myself back up and hoped that all the scholarships I had applied to would allow my dreams to be possible. Unfortunately, I only heard back from one national essay contest for which I was a regional winner..and awarded $50. No big deal, I thought, I can just attend community college for the first year, save up enough money, and go to my dream school next year!

Easier said than done. While I thought I had a lot of bills at my parents’ house (I paid for a good majority of my living expenses), being on my own has proven to be a whole other beast. At this point, even community college is a stretch, though I did choose a job that provides tuition assistance. I am asking as a last resort, throwing my hope into the world, that someone will help me achieve my dream. I will continue to work as hard as I can to make this a reality for myself and to keep myself going, and I would truly appreciate any help I can get.

To whoever takes the time to read this. I thank you first and foremost!

Hi there, I’m a 26-year-old full-time worker who has never had the chance to go to college or obtain a degree due to numerous circumstances. The biggest obstacle has always been money. Though I had decent grades back in high school, I was going through a health situation that prevented me from having the courage to apply to college. I opted to go to a Vocational school to earn a certificate and luckily enough, I was able to obtain a full-time job right after at the age of 18. Even though the tuition for the Vocational school does not even come close to what an actual college would cost, I’m still paying off THOSE loans years later. So the thought of needing to get more loans to finally go to school is extremely frightening. 

I don’t want to be in my 40’s and still regret not going to school. And college is only going to get more and more expensive. I’ve always been a dreamer. I’ve always had big dreams that to some may be ridiculously possible but to me have always been achingly unattainable. To give you an idea of the type of person that I am, I relate very much to Rapunzel from the movie Tangled. Though she’s much brighter than me, she and I have the same love of dreaming and adventures. Except I’m not trying to make my way towards some gleaming lantern lights, but an education. My 20’s have been stagnant and depressing being far from where I would like to be. I can only hope I could start studying now and maybe live the life I’ve always wanted in my 30’s. 

I keep having to see other 20 years old living the life I’ve always wanted. Even though they complain from how much they have to study, they’re at least looking at a bright future. I’m not exactly sure what’s waiting for me at the end of the tunnel but I’m just sadly aware of how far off the light still is. I feel like a mouse on a mouse wheel, constantly moving but staying at the same place. I’m the middle child in my family and my older sister/cousins didn’t go to college. I never had anyone pushing me for that so I didn’t get the importance of further education until I figured it was too late. My younger sister is set to attend a highly accredited University after her Senior year and though I’m proud and ecstatic for her, there’s always this constant pain because no one supported me the way I supported her. She’s bound to study debt free because she’s a straight-A student. I learned from my mistakes and always pushed her to be the best.

Seeing her going off to study stress-free is taking a toll on what I’m starting to call my very early mid-life crisis. I’m still living with my parents, though I help them with rent and other things. Even with the good full-time job I have now, I cannot afford to move out. Let alone be able to afford moving out and becoming independent if I go into more debt with student loans. According to my calculations, it’s going to cost me almost $60k to get an online degree while I work full time because I don’t have the luxury to not work and pay off my other bills. That amount of money is insane and is the only reason why I haven’t made my final decision to start classes. If anyone is willing to help, you will have my full gratitude. And if you don’t have the means, I thank you for reading this far anyway.

Thank you!

Hello, I graduated from college about a year ago and I am having an extremely difficult time finding a job in my career field. I expected to have an easy time finding a job in Environmental Science, but so far no employer is responsive. I have had my resume/CV edited professionally multiple times and I have included every bit of information that would benefit me in a job application process. As a recent graduate, I have yet to gain the experience required for most of these jobs on the market. Some are out of my commute range, and I cannot afford to move. I am trying so hard to find a job, and I pray for one every night. If anyone has any open job positions, I am based in the Tampa, FL area.

I am drowning in two separate loans, over $15,000+ between the two. My family fell into the category where they made too much money for me to get scholarships and grants, but not enough to afford to send me and my sibling to college. This resulted in me having to take out loans all four years of University just so that I had a chance to earn my degree. I would like to pay my loans off as soon as I could to avoid paying thousands in interest. I owe rent to my roommates for the past couple of months, they are being extremely generous and patient with me. I have a part time job but I cannot get scheduled enough hours to pay rent and the minimum required payments on my student loans. I apply to different jobs left and right but so far no luck.

On top of rent and loan payments, I have groceries, prescriptions, and car payments to make. I also have a rescue dog that comes with his own prescriptions and medical bills. I have survived this long by living off of my childhood savings but that will soon be running dry. While I am still looking for a career position, I think I will end up having to get a second or third job. It will be difficult to work with the schedule I have at my current job, as my shift hours change from week to week and it is not very flexible.

Any donation would be very appropriated, and the generosity would be payed forward once I can stand up on my own again.

Hello, I am a senior at Western Michigan University and I am pursuing my bachelor’s degree in sociology with a focus on social psychology and a minor in social work. I do not qualify for any financial aid, therefore, I have been paying out of pocket for my education ever since I graduated high school. My journey has been long and tough but I have made it so far. I recently had a baby boy and finances have been harder and harder to manage. I am in my last year of university but I have no idea how I will manage to pay for everything. I commute to campus every week and that leads me needing more money than usual for gas and car maintenance. Let alone needing to pay for childcare and school necessities. Books are ridiculous overpriced and so is tuition. I greatly value my education and there is nothing more that I would hate then to have to drop out due to insufficient financial funds. I am so close to graduation and I am seeking all possible options to help me accomplish my goals. I have a 3.57 gpa which is getting more difficult to maintain since I also work part time at my local library. Between driving to campus, working and caring for my child, finding the amount of time needed to fulfill my school duties is super tough. Any help that I am able to receive would be greatly appreciated and accepted with many regards. Thanks in advance to everyone and I hope to keep on going untill all of my goals are accomplished.

Dear Anonymous Donor,

I am a street musician who goes to Cornell University. I am a Hotel Administration Major who was the only person in my class without a bed last year. I want to show the world that despite all the odds you can change your life; but due to the Cornell’s financial aid office forcing me to lie, I might have to quit college. This is my life, and I need $42,000 in order to graduate from Cornell University and help my Dad get out of debt.

Let me expand on my story further. I originally went to a low tier university in my area because I believed that I wasn’t smart enough to go anywhere else. Turns out that I just had dyslexia. I was able to transfer to Cornell University 1.5 years ago to pursue an Ivy League Education and chase my dreams. For the last year and a half, I have been paying $12,000 a year to go to Cornell University. I have made that money through working up to three jobs at the same time, including internships, bartending, and being a street musician. Thanks to these jobs, I have $3,000 currently in my bank account, which would have been enough to pay for this semester of college.

This year though, my tuition skyrocketed to $40,000 for the year (including interest due to payment plans, about $42,000), over three times what I used to pay. There are two reasons why Cornell was able to do this:

1. The Cornell University office of financial aid refused to let me say that I was homeless for a time. I had to live in a Walmart parking lot for multiple days last summer, the entire time being uncertain where I would be living next, or when I would next have a roof over my head. This fits the legal definition of homelessness. Cornell University refused to acknowledge this fact and would not allow me to submit my FAFSA if I had marked down that I was homeless, essentially forcing me to commit perjury.
2. My dad got a job for the first time in a decade. When my parents divorced 6 years ago, my mom swindled my dad out of the bulk of his money. Until recently, he was unemployed and received $50,000 of debt during that time. He only recently acquired a job, and while still having to deal with the insane amount of debt he currently is dealing with, Cornell felt that because he is now employed, he can somehow actually provide for me. He has not been able to provide for me since I was 16.

I would rather commit suicide than graduate with debt because I have seen what it does to my dad. I have seen how debt has made him miserable and has crippled his life in all ways. Because of that, I need money in order to graduate from Cornell. Post-graduation, I have career prospects lined up with Delaware North. Using that money, I can help my dad finally get out of debt, since my mom refuses to help either of us. But I can’t do that if I myself am in debt. For that, I need your help because I can’t do this by myself anymore. I know that $42,000 could be a lot, but any amount of money you are able to provide would greatly assist me. Thank you for understanding, and I hope you support my cause.

I still remember my senior year of high school as a fresh young man ready to hit the world and make my mark and change the world for the better.. Hell even graduated among the top ten in my class but boy was I wrong! The world will chew you up and spit you out if you’re not careful but it takes kind strangers to make a difference in your life to really bring humanity into prospective! I had plans, goals and aspirations to accomplish in life then reality hit.

I had enlisted in the Army at 17 as a 31B and wanted to make my mark in life but life had other plans for me. Internal bleeding in my large intestine from thankful non-cancerous polyps rupturing caused me to get an entry level separation during phase one of BCT. I was out back home at rock bottom and feeling like a failure but my girlfriend at the time had talked me into going to college for criminal justice with her but my parents were broke and I was on my own to finance it all. Let’s just say that was an amazing idea two years in until the recession hit full swing and my college lost all funding for out of state students. I was a student with a 3.9 and even made the Dean’s list but unfortunately had zero help and already maxed out on private loans. On top of that my girlfriend at the time left me after joining a sorority and well looking back at that now probably was a big highlight in my life, not a loss!

I was back home and 48K in debt working any and every job I could find. Met another girl and well after a few years dating we had our amazing son and even got married. Well that bubble popped pretty fast and we agreed upon a mutual divorced but still co-parent the greatest little boy in the world.

I’ve since moved on a year on and I’m trying to finally make my mark pay my debts and build a brighter future for my son. Along that way I think I finally found the one! She has two amazing little boys and it really finally feels perfect but man does it get hard with this student loans hammering down every single pay check. I would love to see these things go away so I can start to build a future for these boys and give them what I never had and that’s financial stability for them to attend college someday with my savings and not their debt!

Then maybe when I know I have their future secured I will make that attempt to do something to make my mark on this world however big or small I will pay it forward!

Thank you for taking the moment to read this and I hope you have a blessed day!

I feel a little guilty asking for help. But I honestly feel this is important enough to ask. My daughter graduated high school in May after a long 4 years of difficult times. Everything from a new school to extremely large classrooms with a minor learning disability, to bullying and more. She struggled academically, emotionally, and socially. She is the sweetest kid. Kids who bullied her she would invite over to the house to try to be friends with them and they would steal from her (her Beats I got her a few years ago for Christmas, and her Airpods she bought with her Christmas money, stolen from her!) She really tried so hard but she just felt so beat down. I pushed and pushed her and by the grace of God, she graduated. But not before I had to pull her out with 2 months of school left and transfer to a private school. A boy sprayed hair mousse on top of her head and she had a major allergic reaction. A week later a girl came up behind her in school and pulled her pants down horrifying her in front of hundreds of other students. That was the final straw. She never once showed any interest in college or furthering her education in any way. It is my belief that not everyone is cut out for school and I was okay with her just getting a job as long as she was happy. I did a major disservice to my daughter by not letting her work through her high school years. My reason was because she couldn’t focus on school enough to pass, getting a job would cut into her studies even more that she so desperately needed. So when she graduated, she had no experience working. She came to me one day and shocked me. She told me she had just come from a school where she was looking into a program for Esthetics. I was so surprised. She told me she really wanted to do the one year program. I said absolutely! She asked me to go look at the school the next day with her and I did. Before I went, we filled out the FAFSA for financial aid. The school is really nice. They have a lot for their students and they offer lifetime job placement. So I went into the financial aid office with her to figure out the financials. Well, I nearly fell out of my seat when I heard the tuition for a one year program! I couldn’t believe it! Not only that, but she doesn’t qualify for any financial aid. Why?

I raised my two daughters on my own, neither of their fathers had anything to do with them, never paid a dime of child support and never even cared about their education. I was able to put myself through college twice…once to become an Early Education teacher, and the second time to be a Health Information Tech. I graduated both times. About 5 years after I graduated the second time and entered into the workforce for that career, I fell ill with a blood clotting condition. I ended up with several other issues along with it and my ability to work was gone. I struggled putting my older daughter through college but she was eligible for a lot of aid. A few years ago, I got married to a wonderful man. He really stepped up for my kids, my youngest in particular. However, he was having to pay alimony to his ex and while he made good money, there wasn’t a whole lot left over at the end of the month. He clothes and feeds my daughter and puts a roof over her head. But we just don’t have the extra to pay for this tuition. I know it is bothering him a lot. He makes decent money but for the next few years, there won’t be any extra. We don’t receive any assistance or anything like that because he makes decent money and that is the reason we don’t qualify for any financial aid. It is breaking my heart in the worst way because education is so near and dear to my heart. How do I tell her that my dream was always for her to go to college but I can’t afford the tuition to this school?

I am not allowed to take a federal parent loan because my loans had to be discharged due to my disability. I can’t allow her to fall into the trap of student loans. I see too many kids graduate with so much debt they can barely get ahead. So, this is my story and I am hoping there is someone out there that has as much of a passion for education as I do and would be willing to help. The photo is a then and now shot. My older daughter graduated and my youngest wore her cap. When my  youngest graduated, my oldest wanted to recreate the picture backwards and she wore the youngest’s cap. It was one of my proudest days ever.

Thank you for listening.

Hello,

I was never the type of person to know what I wanted in life. If people asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up or what I would like to do in life that would make me happy, I never knew. Even as an adult, up until a few months ago, I still wasn’t able to answer this question. I know the reason for this had to do with how I grew up. When I was just 1.5 yrs old, my mother died of an accidental overdose and I, along with my sister and brother were taken in and raised by my uncle (my mother’s brother) and his wife. I won’t get into too many details but we were emotionally, mentally, and physically abused by her. My uncle who loved us, wasn’t around much when we were growing up because he worked to make sure we all had a roof over our heads (my aunt didn’t work at the time), but at that time in our lives, he also had a drinking problem and was at bars until late at night. So we were with her most of the time and this is when the abuse would occur. When we got old enough to complain to him (when he was around), she would always make some excuse for why we deserved what she did. Basically, we grew up in a household of fear. We weren’t shown love and affection. And we were not allowed the freedom to be who we were, have or express our own thoughts or beliefs, and were not allowed to explore our own interests to find out what would bring us joy (which is very important when young children are developing!).

Another thing I grew up with was being told by her that I was fat and always feeling like I was ugly. I don’t recall her ever calling me ugly, but I know she always made sure that my sister and I had short boy hair cuts -from a young age all the way into my teenage years. I didn’t even start wearing make-up until I was 17 or 18-something I had to start doing on my own.

I know now that I wasn’t ugly; in hindsight, I think she was jealous of us and the love that my uncle showed us that she felt was taken away from her after my mother died and they took us in. And while I’m sympathetic because they took us in (3 babies: 6 months, 1.5 yrs, 3 yrs) when they were also young, we could have had a wonderful relationship with her had she chosen to raise us differently, but I digress.

Fast forward, I’ve been blessed to have found a man that loves me and accepts me for all the issues I developed due to my childhood – which I’m trying to work through – and I’ve been blessed to have a job as an admin at a good company. However, I’ve finally found my passion and have decided that I would like to go back to school to get a certificate in cosmetics. Make-up is the one thing that makes me feel beautiful. I know this might sound surfacy, but in a world of hate, abuse, and bullying, if doing someone’s make up can make them feel beautiful even for one day, it would bring me joy to be able to make someone feel that way. And so I would love to learn how to do it professionally. There is a school that is 5 minutes from my job that I would like to go to, and I could go right after work for about 6 hours a week. The total cost is $1,695, and I would be so grateful for anyone that is kind enough to donate to this cost.

I have a full time job (admin asst.) but I never went to college and am planning to start school this spring to work on getting my account degree, which I will be paying for myself, while working full time. If I could get my makeup certificate by the end of the year, I can also do this on the side and use this along with my job to help pay for school.

For the donors, I don’t know how you decide who to give to but, thank you for taking the time to read our stories, for your consideration, and giving when you do!

My Husband has developed a passion for cooking. He loves baking and cooking to the point where a few years back we enrolled him in culinary school. He thrived while attending school. He loved his classes and professors and was given amazing opportunities to help out with national chef events. But about half way through his culinary program, our daughter go sick, we discovered the plumbing pipes under neath our home were disintegrating (which ended up being a $18,000 repair – because our home did not have a basement or crawl space, the plumbers had to dig huge wholes through our foundation), and we were expecting our second child and were looking at $5,000 in medical costs, plus his NICU bill because he was born with some breathing issues. After all of that hit our family in the summer of 2018, my husband scarified his schooling and transitioned into a stay a home dad role for the following year. While I knew my husband was discouraged about having to put culinary school aside he stepped right up as a stay a home dad and went above and beyond creating day lessons and planning out great development activities and just loved on those kids. After a full year at home with the kids I could tell he just really wanted to be back in a kitchen, but I just don’t make enough money in the education field to fund getting him back in school, on top of daycare costs and every day living expenses, so he has taken a job working in a restaurant. Due to how the sacrifices my husband made over the last year and a half and due to the fact that I know a culinary degree could really open up some great doors for his future I am asking for help in funding the rest of his culinary school. I know I am trying to sacrifice buying things for our family to save up for his schooling and if you’d be willing to join me in making a small dontion to his schooling, I would be forever grateful.

Here is a picture of him baking with our daughter.

Expenses: College Tuition and Transportation to college. The total cost of attendance is $17,674 for the academic year at the New Jersey Institute of Technology. the extra $2000 is for the monthly NJTransit train pass that I take, which amounts to $265 per month.

So in the past I have been financially irresponsible. I accrued a lot of credit card debt (over $4000) in one year. This was fall of 2017 to Spring 2018. I was using it on games and food and many other things outside of helping myself complete my education. I had my transportation to college covered by my parents who just bought the house we are living in now. This was the one and only time my parents covered any real college expenses out of pocket. After the fall of 2017, we moved to Burlington, NJ. So after the one semester that my transportation was covered, I realized my error and decided to work that summer in order to make enough money to pay down that credit card debt. Unfortunately, my parents, due to mortgage payments and property taxes, were no longer able to cover the most important expense I had. my expenses went up more than 200% (I wasn’t paying more than a 100$ a month on the credit card payments). This was a huge problem that I wasn’t prepared for and it hit me hard during the semesters of Fall 2018 and Spring 2019. I was barely paying for the train rides while completely putting off my credit payments. Fast forward to March 11th, 2019, my father has an acute stroke and is in the hospital for a week, then physical therapy for another three weeks, and finally returning home for the rest of his recovery. My father is recovering well and I am thankful for that because it could’ve been a lot worse, but he has been out of work for almost 5 months now and is on the fringe of choosing retirement because of the permanent damage caused by the incident. It is not a sure thing yet, but this means I definitely can’t get help from them in this unstable time.

So the core of the issue is this: I am in the process of paying off all of the credit cards. They were charged off and now I am paying debt collectors. So I already payed off one of them yesterday and will finish another in two weeks. However, the damage has already been done. Unfortunately, they have left negative marks on my credit history. Two days ago I was rejected for a private student loan because of this credit history. I have my parent as a cosigner, for whom nothing has really changed for the last 4 loans that I have received and the bank I applied to has a history of leniency. Still rejected. This likely means that I probably can’t get a private loan in most private institutions. This is a huge problem. I am two weeks from the beginning of school and I have a month to secure the money I need to attend. I filled out my FAFSA to see what kind of aid I can get from the fed, state, and school. I doubt it will cover nearly enough though because in the past, I only received very small federal loans. This is my last year of college and I don’t want it to end because I can’t pay. I’ve been through too much to have things end here. Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Hello, my name is Chris and I’m 18 years old. This is going to be my first year in college and I plan on majoring in computer science. I haven’t had much luck in getting any scholarships these past months and tuition is due very soon. I come from a poor family and we are in financial need. I can’t even rely on FASFA because I’m not eligible (for reasons I can’t really go into). Without FASFA, I can’t get any grants or help from scholarships that use FASFA as a way to determine financial need. Recently, money has been tighter than ever even with both my parents working. Despite my upbringing and status, I’ve managed to work hard in my studies. I’ve graduated in the top 10% of my class, I have taken AP and Dual Credit courses so I’m not lacking in that area at least.

The most difficult thing summer was trying to figure how to pay for college without working. My parents have a stigma about teens who start to work and come under pressure with college too. They’ve seen it happen to people at their jobs who decide that they’ll end up working a 9 to 5 instead of pursuing a career. Not saying that people should be forced into going college because those who work in minimum wage work hard too. Not a lot of people enjoy or are cut out for college either and that’s why they have to work instead. Though, it is harder to take care of family that way as my parents are doing right now and they don’t want to see me or my siblings to end up working in fast food. After doing scholarships, I realized that I can’t rely on them either so I have to work no matter what. I just found a job recently which was another problem for me this summer was that finding one is way harder to do than it sounds.

I only need this help just for these upcoming fees as I will be paying for the ones due in these next months with my job. I don’t know how much people use this site to donate so I can’t be sure that’ll even go this semester. Even if you don’t have a whole lot of money to donate, any little amount helps. I want to enjoy my college life with my friends who are also going this semester.

P.S. – I know it says that 2,000 is due but the scholarship that is offering 500 for this semester isn’t applicable as it is for people in a medical major. I don’t qualify for it and the college is still pending my declination.

I am not sure how everyone’s story goes, but I understand that everyone has their own unique story. As for mine, it started a little further back in 2016 when I first thought of my future college plans. I fully knew that I will not be supported by my parents to go to college and that I did not want to serve the military just to be able to afford to get myself a degree in Chemical Engineering. All I knew was that I needed a good GPA in high school to be able to get a scholarship and rely on Free Application For Federal Aid (FAFSA) – a government, need-based scholarship – on paying the remaining amount that was not covered by the merit scholarship. In addition to this, I also understood that I would have to work in addition to preparing my own meals, studying for all of my classes, and commute to school.

Moving on to 2017, I started to transition from high school to college when I entered a state school with (what I thought was) a considerable amount for a scholarship of $4,000/year and $6,000/year from fafsa. The only thing I missed was how ridiculously expensive college classes are per credit, living expense, transportation, and food are. Due to how much I have to work to cover living expenses, I take the minimum of 12 credits/semester to not completely overwork myself to the point I will not be able to do both. It turns out that even with the subsidized federal loan of $6,000/year, I am barely making ends meet with my credit card of $500 limit. Here is a little bit of my math:

Expenditure: School: $21,000/year | Rent: $750/month | Food + Transportation: $300/month

Income: Working in the library (40hrs/week): $1,800/month (Before taxes)

Which allows me to save approximately: ~$600/month (after taxes) but my school fees adds up ($10,500 (school cost/semester) – $2,000 (merit scholarship) – $3,000 (Fafsa) – $3,000 (Fafsa Loan) = $2,500) Needing to save every month to only realize that I am usually still short a few hundred dollars to pay off the school fees, I usually use my credit card and have little to work with when it comes to buying food.

I really did not want to resort to this, but I still have at least 2 more years of school and I don’t want to give up my dream to be a chemical engineer and to see all my efforts for the past two years disappear to thin air. If you have read through this far, I really appreciate all the reading you have done and I completely understand if you are unable to help. But getting this off my chest with the thought of the possibility that a kind soul might help out a struggling college student relieves a little bit of pressure from all the stress that I have to face every day at work and at school.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read and donate if you do.

My family was paying for my education at the 4 year university that I attend, but recently ran into a financial set back and can no longer support my tuition fees! I took 2 years off to work and save but without a degree it has been hard. I have 1 full year left to completely my degree and would greatly appreciate your help! I need $25,000 for the entire year. That number seems so far out of reach… but I have to try everything!! Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. May God bless you.

Hello person! Thank you so much for taking your time to read and, hopefully donate.

My name is Abigail and I am 19 years old. I am a high school graduate trying to pay her first tuition payment at Blue Ridge Community College. I am taking prerequisite classes for nursing the first two years, and then transferring to JMU. I have always wanted to be a nurse in the NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) since I was around 15 years old. As of now, I have a part time job at a retirement home for almost 4 years. I absolutely love the residents there and hearing their life stories. When I am not working, I love to read, knit and cuddle with my cat.

This summer has been really hard for me. I was renting my brother’s car during my senior year of high school while he was teaching English out of the country. So we came up with an agreement that while he was away, I would pay for car insurance, car payments, any kind of repairments and of course gas. I had to get the car repaired, which cost up to $500, that took my bank account down. I have an insurance fee of $480/6 months and on top of that $70/month of car payments. I am already struggling to pay for that. And then I dislocated my left knee (4th time) and was on crutches for 3 weeks. I wasn’t able to work during that time and I wasn’t getting any money either.

So since I am starting college in a few weeks, I am in desperate need of money for tuition. I have three payments for this first semester, the first is due August 14th and is $900 plus enrollment fee of $40. The second and third one are $425 each, and due September 16 and October 16. In my family, we pay for our own college. I have no financial aide or any scholarships. I have $30 in my bank account and I don’t get my next pay check until after tuition is due.

My goal is $940 before August 14, I know not a lot of time. So anything really helps. Thank you soo much!

Hey there. My name is Christopher Anderson, a sophomore in college. Ever since high school, I’ve wanted to study moviemaking. I love making short films with my friends and youtube videos in my free time. I enjoy watching those behind-the-scenes videos and learning how certain movies scenes were made. I wish I had the means to do stuff like that. It is my dream to become a successful movie director, working on sci-fi and action movies. I have a big imagination, and I know filmmaking is a career where I can really let that imagination run wild.

I currently attend Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato, MN. It is a small, private college and is very active in the community. Like last year, I will be living on-campus in a dorm. Bethany’s Media Arts program is a very popular and successful major. It has all of the tools needed to become an expert in broadcasting, post-production, and cinematography. In my freshman year of college, I was able to take a few prerequisite classes for the Media Arts major. Unfortunately, none of them gave me video projects to put into a portfolio, which is required to be in the major. Luckily, I was able to finish most of my General Education classes last year, so I am free to take more prerequisites this year and start filling out the portfolio with edited videos.

As is the price of going to a private college, Bethany is expensive. To pay for my freshman and sophomore years, I had taken out some loans. What’s the big deal with that? Well, in a matter of days, the next payment for my freshman loan is due, and I don’t have enough to pay it. My family does not have much money, and my parents are already paying for a lot of important things. I was so excited to go to college, but I’m worried I won’t be able to finish it because of financial issues. 

I thought I would be able to afford going to college, and I never saw this problem coming. Please, I really need help achieving this dream. Anything that you are willing to donate would help a lot, and it would really be appreciated. 

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I am grateful to everyone who donates. It really means a lot to me that you want to help me accomplish my goal.

Ever since I was a child, it’s always been my dream to go to college! Though, let’s be real, a struggling single mother with two children didn’t really have the means to put both, let alone one, of us through proper schooling. So, I worked hard in High School (mustering A’s and B’s mostly) and applied for grants and scholarships. I was working towards my future!

Around my sophomore year in high school, my mother was diagnosed with cancer. She was such a fighter and insisted that we pay more attention to our education instead of worrying about her health. Through out my high school years, I spent a lot of time balancing hospital visits with being a “normal” teenage girl. Then, through some miracle, during my senior year (through a lot of trying times of chemotherapy), my mother’s cancer dissipated. SHE WAS GOING TO BE OKAY! She helped me apply for scholarships, grants, and even sent me to other states to tour my prospected schools—her dream was to see me prosper into a successful young lady.

Around the time of graduation, I came home to my mother laying half-way up the stairs crying; saying she couldn’t move because she was in a lot of pain. Upon our hospital visit, with tears in our eyes and heavy hearts, we were told the cancer was given a second wind because of a disease that she had had come out of remission—it was Lupus. The cancer thrived and spread throughout her body, with the diagnosis that she wouldn’t make it to Christmas that year.

Against her better wishes, I couldn’t leave my single mother with my-still in high school-brother to fend for themselves as she battled with her remaining strength, I called the school I wanted to go to and withdrew. She was so mad. But I couldn’t leave her… So, I got a full-time job after graduating and started supporting her and my brother to the best of my abilities.

Two weeks before thanksgiving, 11/12/11, a phone call woke me up. My grandmother was on the phone, crying, trying to tell me that my mother was gone. My whole world went numb and I couldn’t even say anything back to her. My mom, my whole world, the only person I had was gone. Forever.

After a few months of picking up the pieces, and watching my younger brother spiral downward, I decided it was time to be the strength he needed. I wasn’t the only one suffering. I took up a second job, got an apartment, and became his guardian. I won’t lie and say it was easy-because it was not. We were just kids. When the time came, I cried as he graduated high school, and then as he graduated basic training. My mom would be so proud of him! He did it all despite his hardships!

I’ve spent the last three years working, and I think it’s time for me to grant the wish my mother had for me… to become a successful young lady… to get the education she was so mad I gave up. That’s why I’m here today… begging for someone to help me for once. Someone who’s out there who can see that I’ve struggled and is willing to lend an open hand into bettering my future.

I won’t lie, I was trying to come up with a better way to ask; something that didn’t make me seem so… pathetic. That didn’t make me choke back tears as I wrote this… But, here I am.

I really don’t need much, I plan to join my community college, work my ass off, and transfer elsewhere. I just need a little start-up. Something I can buy books with, get myself a laptop, and pay a little of my fees off.

I apologize for any inconveniences, and I thank you-SO MUCH-for taking the time to read my story.

I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hello, My name is Toni

I will be starting college in 2 weeks. I will be attending out of state . I don’t know if I should tell you where I’m from and what college I plan to attend. However, its a community college and I was able to attend a university but I did not have the funds to do so. I’ve worked two jobs and my money has not been sticking in my pockets sadly. My family has needed my help and I always willing to help them. I only need 550 left to cover my remaining balance of  fees. I was able to cover tuition and housing but I forgot about the extra fees. I have to pay for books, meal plan, and ridiculous fees such as fees for other programs and classes that I’m not apart of. It’s costing me a lot.

I’m hoping my family will help me cover the fees but they are not responding to me at this moment. I have done so much for them. I’ve done so much on my own and been on my own for so long in my mom’s house. All I get from her is negative after negative comments. It hurts so much. That I can never make her proud. I’m trying, I’m really trying I promise to you reading this , I AM TRYING! Writing this is making me so emotional because I’ve had this conversation to my mother and all she says is that it’s in my head. I just want to move on and become something in life. I want to pursue a career in counseling. You might laugh reading this. I know, I need counseling right? I’ve done it and it hasn’t worked. ONLY, because they lack emotion. It felt like I was talking to a wall. People come to me all the time with their issues. I’m more than happy to help them. I love giving people the attention, care, support and advice that I wish I had gotten to them.

So I ask you to please help me, I’m down to my last check and i don’t have the money I need. 550 dollars is what I’m asking for. And when I reach the goal I will take this down. I believe in the lord Christ and if you don’t I’m sorry. But I’m just letting you know that I won’t be here still asking after I have been blessed with what I need.

Thank you for you time and consideration. Anything can help

Hi

I come from a low income family which is a nicer/fancier way of saying I’m from a poor family. My mom works over 8+ jobs just to pay the rent and take care of myself and my 2 other siblings. I have big dreams but little hopes, but something I have always had in my head was that I would be able to go to Japan someday. For 12 years of my life I have been head first into the Asian culture from their food, and their clothes/fashion, to their language and way of life.

But I have gotten small insults or sly comments from my family for the past 2 years, they don’t understand why I’m so interested in this culture even if I explain different things, it’s useless. Most commonly recently, my family have been questioning my interest in my own culture (I’m African-American) like I’m a traitor or something towards “my people”, and they already rejected my sexuality and gender I preferred to go by/ transition to, so my goals to go to Japan seem slim without family support.

I also suffer from severe anxiety attacks and have for almost a year now going to a therapist. I lost my step-father in March of 2016, you was the only father I knew (I still to this day have not meet my real father but my older sibling has) he was killed in cold blood and that affected my entire life, he was the main one that support me and my wish to go to Japan. I has been very difficult being a bi trans teen and your family rejects that. I have been struggling for so long, but now there is an opportunity I can temporally take some time away from my family to release myself of stress and anxiety, and focus on getting to college.

I want to go to college in Japan to get my degree in graphic design, which will take 3 years, language school before that for 6 months, then find some work , and live their if possible. I can only save up so much, plus zero support from the family, but I also have to pay for T (testosterone) and top surgery so financial I’m probably never gonna make it to Japan (or get top surgery) but I can at least hope for this right. Want to be able to go by April 2021 at the latest. I thank anyone and everyone who took their time to read all of this, I know it’s long but I don’t want to give you half of the story, I want you to understand me and where I’m coming from a bit, so I’m not a complete stranger.

*Take off the last 2 numbers to get the proper amount from YEN to USD, ex. 3,587,440 yen = $35,874 US dollars / 777,440 yen = $7,774 US dollars

In total I need around $50,000, plus language school fees which is $8,000 so a total of around $60,000. the Japanese government wont even let me go if I don’t have at least $30,000 in my bank. I know that seems like a lot but any little bit helps. I’ll try and update time from time. Thank you.

So! I’m going to college! The decision was a long and hard one but I feel hopeful for the future. I’ve been a fairly good student, got recognized for honors and god some scholarships for that (which is a blessing) Except: this summer I moved out of my mother’s house to be able to work (It’s a weird situation; I don’t have a car and my mother can’t drive, so I moved in with a family friend who owns a business so I am able to walk to work, trying to save my mom a bit of money by not having to pay for one less person in the house) Back home I couldn’t work due to family chaos and I just needed to compile some money before I’m sent off. However this $2,785 bill is a bit of a setback due to other college fees needed paid and ALSO court/lawyer fees since my mother is currently having to go to court because of my father who bailed and took everything from us. There are many more college fees to be paid in the future but some help on this first one would be such big help and it’s due next week. I’ve saved up as much money as I possibly can in preparation for moving, but I have some major school shopping to do before I go and I’m trying to lighten the load off my mom’s shoulders since our electric nearly gets shut off every month on top of her trying to earn money so my little brothers can go to a good christian school (our district is failing and is just a terrible group of schools in general) and so that she can fight her ex husband in court so he cant take any more from us. I have gotten a fair amount of financial aid as my FAFSA EFC is 0, however no matter how poor you are, college is still VERY EXPENSIVE and I have dreams of giving back to my mom and my family as we all have experienced f***ed up s**t throughout this lifetime and I want to break the chain.  Any kind of donation is a blessing and I can assure every penny will go STRAIGHT to my college account so I can pay this bill. If you can’t donate, please say a prayer. Thank you for reading this and for your consideration.

I’m Sara. I started off college 3 years ago with no real motivation to be there. My mom left me with no choices I had to work and be in school if I wanted to live in her house. Senior year of high school I got pregnant and growing up with strong disbelief of abortion or adoption I kept the baby. My daughter is my lifesaver, she motivated me to finish high school on time even though I was a year behind I finished in half the time but I knew I had taken on a lot and wanted to take a year off school once I graduated. I wanted to focus on work but that didn’t happen. despite doing exactly what my mom wanted I ended up getting kicked out anyway mid-school year and living in a shelter all while supporting me and my baby. After the shelter told me I couldn’t stay due to my age my mom agreed to keep till I was 21 I continued to try to make it work as a full- time student and full-time sales associate and a full-time mom. I couldn’t do both. So I quit my job, I hated that I was doing more than I was paid for and they didn’t want to promote me to lead even though I was hired under the influence that after I was trained I would become a lead cashier. To continue with my education; last summer was my last chance to continue my schooling with the help of my school but last summer I was in an abusive relationship which I denied till the new year and I was sexually assaulted which made me very depressed. My school counselor insisted I pulled out of my classes because I needed to get help with my new condition I didn’t see my kid for almost a month because I didn’t want her to see me…. broken. It didn’t help I was in a psychology class talking about sexual abuse as a topic. When I pulled out I wasn’t aware that if I pulled out of the classes I would then have to pay for those classes because the school was no longer going to help me. Once I found out and back in shape I tried to get a new job but no matter where I applied no one wants to hire me. I plan on going back to school for business because I am happier and better as an executive assistant or any desk with paperwork and a computer (I’m tech-savvy) then I am working as a sales associate or sales lead. It took me a year to find a new job but after about of week of work I felt sick and when I went to the doctor I found out I’m 3 months pregnant with baby number 2 which didn’t sit well with anyone they fired with the excuse I don’t take direction well but I followed everything they asked of me. I fell into a hole and didn’t leave my house for a few months. Now I have goals I want to work behind the scenes. I like being an Executive Assistant and receptionist and secretary. One day I hope to own a company but working my way is the way up but to even get my foot through the door these days you need to be the educated, past experience will only get you so far because every business is different. So now I’m a mother to a 3-year-old and 6 months pregnant I can only stand for so long before getting weak and dizzy so sales associate and cashier is off the table. Which means I have about another 3-4 months to figure out how I’m going to achieve my new goals because my old dream of modeling which I have been doing for the past 4 years is now a pipe dream or hobby on the side. I can’t stabilize my family hoping one day I will be more then I am when I have a thousand skills at my disposal and if that fails well I always have teaching to fall back on! ( Fun Fact: I’m good with kids)

Hi, about last year I got my certificate in medical billing and coding and of course like almost every student, I have a student loan to pay off. I had financial aid for my courses and even a grant but I still had to borrow about $7000 in student loans. I am fortunate that I do have a job but paying all my bills and rent at the same time as my student loan has been very frustrating. I managed to pay off $2000 so far but interest is what kills me. Of course my car transmission also decided to break and that’s another $1300 and for some reason my car insurance increased today without any warning and I have no idea why since I’ve never had a ticket or been in an accident, so there’s that I have to add on to my bills. It’s just been really stressful and anytime I think about how much I have to pay back still, it’s just so frustrating. I want to pay off another $3000 myself because I know if I work hard and with the pace I’m going, that that is an achievable amount, but I need $2000 to really help me out. I have other bills to pay for plus rent and if I can just be out of this debt, it would be really helpful. Honestly, anything would be helpful and I’ve just been struggling to do this and saving money at the same time since anything that I have left I’m using to pay off this debt. Once I do, I can finally save up my money to not only find a new place to live with my mom since she has been struggling with a bad relationship. Overall, I’m just trying to raise at least $2000. I really don’t want to ask for more than what I need since I think I can manage the rest of it on my own. I really appreciate anyone who reads this. I know student loans are common issues and there are probably thousands of people asking for help with the same thing I’m asking for, but either way I’m thankful. Also, this also has to reach 400 words for me to post and I just wanted to get to the point so I’m sorry if I’m rambling. By the way I accept prayers too! Thank you again for reading!
