College Student Who Needs Help

 

I am a college student who is in my last year of school and I am really having a hard time. Since Covid-19 hit I have had to move back home with my parents because I was let go from my job and have not been so lucky to find one which works with my hectic schedule. I come from a family who is very down on their luck so asking for money through them is not ideal for me because I am used to be the provider with the scholarship money I have had left over in the past. I am a Biology Major and Psychology Minor who has plans on going to med school to become a Neurosurgeon. I am a very hard-working student and have had to work for all my good grades and scholarships I have received in the past. But this year I was not able to qualify for a particular one which normally helps me and my family out during the school semesters. Going on to med school would be the best gift I can give my parents because I have seen the many sacrifices they have made for my younger siblings and me.

 

Med school pretty steep bill and have already had a couple of programs who has reached out and let me know they will be able to help me through my long 14 years of school. I was not blessed with ample of money and it has really been present with this pandemic still going on. I am asking if anyone can find it in their hearts to help fund my dreams. I have a bill that is due to my school that is still 17,372.00 and I need to have this bill paid before I am able to receive my actual transcript to apply to med school officially. I graduate in early December and have absolutely no idea how I will get that bill paid to apply for early admissions next year. I have tried everything I can think of with trying to earn money, even giving my plasma 7 times a month but that had only made a ripple in the ocean of money I still owe. I understand that I am asking for a lot of money and also understand that it will probably not come from a single person. I just hope a few people see how bright my future is and helps me through this rough time in my life. God bless you all and thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Becoming a mental health counsellor

I am Charlotte, I am 22 years olf and I am writing this as it is my passion to become a counsellor and help people through their own personal mental health journey. Mental health levels have never been so low due to how challenging Covid-19 has been on people, yet it feel as though sometimes it is so difficult to get the support, there just aren’t enough resources to support everyone. I want to be able to change that, to be able to qualify as a counsellor and begin working straight away and know every day that I am trying to help somebody. I have already completed my level two and three courses and worked hard to get a scholarship for my level four-course which I am currently undergoing. However, because I have already completed a degree prior to this I am not eligible to receive any funding for the teaching fees of £900. This is devasting to me, as I chose to study Business with Marketing at the age of 16 and completed my degree with a first-class honours, however, it is only limiting me from my actual dream. I was still young and figuring my way in life at 16 but yet most job roles require a qualification and experience, but yet you are only eligible for one educational decision. I do not regret my degree as it taught me so much, I just wish I was able to use the skills I know in a field that I am so driven to work in. I am trying everything I can possibly think of to be able to complete my education and follow my passion. Anything that anybody could do would be greatly appreciated and you can know that I will spend every day offering support to people who need it. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this

Help Me Achieve My Mom’s Dying Wish

Hi there, and thank you for taking the time to read my post.

I wasn’t sure how I was going to respond to my mom’s death. Losing my mom was something I couldn’t prepare for, even though I had tried. Usually I am the person others look to for direction and guidance, but I remember that moment at the end; when the doctor told us that our mom had only a few hours left. I kept asking myself, “What must I do?” and only emptiness responded.

I am the youngest of five children. I was my mom’s baby. I have four older, more ‘experienced-in-life’ siblings. It’s a safe haven for me. It’s home.

I am a mom to a team of three incredible little humans, and a wife to one of the strongest and most intelligent men that I have ever met. A healthy and balanced lifestyle has always been important to me. My mom was diagnosed with lung cancer in July 2015. She was a heavy smoker.

I missed the first call from my dad that day. I was in a meeting when I saw the missed call on my phone. It was strange, but I already knew that something was wrong. I immediately made the call and my dad answered after only one ring. He calmly explained that mom had cancer and that the doctors had given her a few months left to live. There was nothing they could do for her. Then he cried.

I can’t imagine how difficult it must have been for him that day, to tell each of us, one at a time, that their mother was dying, and that he couldn’t save her. That same month they had celebrated their 53rd wedding anniversary. I felt so guilty that I hadn’t answered his call but rather, that I was returning it. I didn’t speak to my mom on the phone, and when we said goodbye I sat in silence…

I arrived at my parents’ house about an hour after leaving my office. During the trip there I had thought about what I should say to my mom, but I couldn’t think of anything of substance. By the time I drove into the driveway I had concluded that there was nothing to say; words were useless. I was surprised to discover that she was on her own. My dad had gone back to his office already, and then I realised that she would have demanded that he go back to work, to keep things ‘normal’. My mother was not a woman you chose to argue with, that is, if you had the choice. Behind three entrance gates, she sat with her book, her cup of coffee and a cigarette in her hand. Being the absolute lady she was, a long elegant filter fluttered between her lips and the space under her delicate but oversized hat. This was her signature style: she loved big floppy hats with flowers perched on top. She loved strong coffee, no milk. She loved heavy, lose-yourself books. And she loved cigarettes. There may have even been a tot or two of brandy in that black coffee of hers!

She looked peaceful under that huge umbrella of coconut palm trees, sitting gently at her outside table, legs crossed on top of her chair. Us petite ladies can do that. I suppose at some point, we all wonder and agonise over how and when we will die, and she had just received that secret. Maybe it brought her some sort of peace, to know the end of her incredible story. Her dark brown almond eyes lit up as she smiled at my arrival.

“What do you want to do mom?” were my first words to her. “I can take you anywhere, we can do anything you want.”

She smiled at me again, and under the brim of her huge hat, she said, “I have had a beautiful and full life. I don’t want to go anywhere or do anything. I want to be here, with you.”

And with that said, we sat quietly, hand in hand, and wept through our smiles.
I don’t recall how that day ended. I don’t care to recall it. What I do remember from that day was the overwhelming peace, strength and courage that my mom displayed. How she joked, and how she told us to be strong for her. Never again did I see her cry for herself.

A few days before she died I realised that Death does not come quietly. It felt as though I had lost her already. She was confused and weak. Her petite and slender legs were so incredibly thin and papery that you could see the dark purple veins pulsating underneath. Her skin looked bruised and broken, and her hair was grey and thin, which despite her age, usually never saw the light of day under continuous black hair dyes and hair sprays. She was a phenomenally beautiful woman that had been resorted to a chattering old lady in nappies, incapable of bathing herself. Cancer is a cruel and relentless ride that you can’t get off.

I first learnt about the smell of Death on that day. I remember looking it up on Google; the sweet and putrid smell of a human body that is about to die. For the first time in thirteen months, I became acutely aware that we had lost her forever. I realised that this eccentric woman, who had loved so fiercely, lived so wildly, and who had protected and cared for her family so deeply, had already left us. Her suffering was now so great, that Death had became a much-needed respite.

I had barely settled into my day at the office when my sister called to say that an ambulance was taking our mom to the hospital. She was in pain, and the hospice nurse could no longer ease her discomfort. We all knew it. We all knew that once she arrived at the hospital, she would never leave.

I arrived before they did. And when they did, I noticed that my mom was the most coherent she had been in weeks. She smiled when she saw me, and told me that she was sore. She clenched her fists, she writhed, she pleaded for relief. I felt utterly helpless. I looked at my dad and my sisters, I saw the desperation in their eyes, and I heard their voices shake. I noticed how incredibly kind the doctors and nurses were being towards us and towards my mom. We were breaking all the hospital rules in our true family style. And then I realised that they too knew that this was her end. The rules do not apply when Death arrives.

I saw things over those next 48 hours that I wish I could unsee. I saw suffering that is impossible to be compared to anything other than torture. Not just my mom’s own suffering, but the suffering experienced by my sisters and my father.
The helplessness and confusion was immense. She would awaken for very brief moments, mumble something that didn’t make sense, and return to her sleepy state. We took turns sitting with her, only going home to shower and put on fresh clothes. But I don’t think she was really there with us anyway.

Then a miracle happened. There was a moment of pure stillness. We were all there, sitting around her hospital bed when she regained total consciousness. She made it clear that she wanted to say something, even though she could not talk at all. We surrounded her closely, like the petals on one of her favourite roses. She looked at each one of us for a few seconds, and with absolute determination she mouthed out individual I love you’s. No voice escaped her, but each of us understood her message. Finally, she fixed her eyes on my father. He told her that she could go, and in his arms, my mom closed her eyes, and left us. Peacefully.

It’s been four years since my mom closed her eyes for the last time. Those warm, brown, loving eyes that could also become like fire when her passions were stirred. She had beautiful eyes. A lot has happened in four years, and mostly because of losing my mom. Not just the loss of her, but the experience of it all. The suffering and the beauty of her death. The pain and the peace it brought to our family.

In the last four years, I have welcomed my third child to the world and immigrated my family to Australia from South Africa to pursue my mom’s dream for me. She wanted me to obtain a PhD. Today, I am halfway through my research, and I have paid AUS$45000 towards my tuition so far. I need another AUS45 000 to complete my PhD, which will then allow me to apply for permanent residency for my family here in Australia.

My request, is that somewhere out there, a donor would consider funding my remaining tuition fees so that I can complete my PhD, and make my mom proud.

Financial support to keep studying

I am sure you have heard many stories like mine already so I would like to thank you for taking the time to read mine. I moved to The U.S. right after I got my bachelor’s degree in Advertising. Since I did not graduate in this country, it has always been hard for me to find a job on my career path that I could live from. I have worked as a waitress while having an office job just to be able to make enough money to give myself a decent life and support my mother who does not live in this country. I did not want to spend the rest of my life having to works two jobs. I believe that I am a woman with great potential and I wanted to give myself a second chance to build a better future for myself so I decided to go back to school. I am getting an associate’s degree in Computer Science at a Community College and I have been accepted at the University of Maryland for next Spring. Computer Science is a demanding career major, it requires a lot of time which, depending on how many classes I study, often leaves me with no time to have a job. I lost both of my jobs during the pandemic. I have been living on unemployment checks, which I do not qualify for anymore, and my savings for my school tuition. I am in a situation where I will probably have to stop studying to be able to work to support myself. Since I am 32 years old, I do not qualify for most grants and scholarships. I only qualify for student loans, which I am already applying for after having to spend my savings to cover my living expenses. I would like to be able to focus only on school so I can get my degree as soon as possible; therefore, I would appreciate any amount of financial help I could get. I never thought I would be asking for help on a website but I finally realize that it is not bad to ask for help when your intentions are honest. “None of us can make it alone.” Thank you.

University Student – Lost my Job to COVID

Hello, my name is Lauren and I’m a 20 year old second semester Junior university student. 

Just so you know a little about me (since, you know, I’m asking for money and all that) I’m an English major at a private university in Texas. My parents aren’t rich or anything. My dad actually took a massive pay cut when I was in high school so that he could preach for a struggling church and my mom is a nurse. So I got into this school and have been able to attend for the past couple years largely due to the scholarships I was fortunate enough to receive from graduating first in my class and scoring well on the ACT. 

I’m passionate about literature and storytelling of any kind. I was always a quiet kid so books were my stress relief and escape. Now, however corny it sounds, I want to be that for someone else with the work I put out there. Like any other literature loving young adult in this world, I am working on a novel. However, I won’t put all my faith in making it financially as a novelist. So I’m hoping to get my Master’s degree at Emerson College in creative writing and publishing and work either as a book editor for a publishing company or as a story writer for new media (film, video games, TV shows, etc.) and leave my books as passion projects to work on for my enjoyment.

I’ve done my best to be financially smart during my time in college. I don’t buy what I don’t need, I stay with my parents instead of the dorms to save $5000 per semester on housing, take out loans, take classes during the summer so that I can graduate early, and work. Last semester I worked two minimum wage jobs (weekend administration at a car dealership and inventory at the university library) to pay off what was left of my school bill. I didn’t make much but it would have been enough to pay the rest of my bill. Then, COVID hit and I lost the job at the library, due to the fact that I was not a mandatory employee. This was the one I worked more hours and, because of that, the one where most of my money came from. I was hoping I would be able to continue working when school started back up but they discontinued my position for the remainder of the pandemic.

I lost out on over $2500 since losing my job in April, which would have covered my dues I still owe for last semester and last summer and a good portion of what I owe this semester. I’m hoping I can somehow reach $1200 but anything you can and want to spare would be incredible. Anything I have to pay past that I believe I will be able to somehow figure out.

 I know this is a lot of money and a bit of a long shot but I hope you’ll might feel inclined to help a little. Thank you so much in advance if you choose to help me. I know you didn’t have to and I will be sure to pay it forward and help someone else in need when I am able to.

Help Me to Pursue My PhD 🙏

I do not know where or how to start. It is my first time writing and requesting for such kind of help. In general, I have started living on my own since the age of 17 far away from my own country, siblings, and family. During all these years I had a chance to work and study at the same time. I have recently graduated with a Master’s degree in the field of Information Technology. I am proud and glad that I could live and pay all my fees (rental, tuition fees, personal expenses etc…) throughout all these years away from my family in different three different countries. I can write hours about my challenges and difficulties that I have sweated out but I will not bore you with that. I take every step of my life as a challenge which leads me to grow further and further and I can see the differences in me when I look back on my life. Also its worth mentioning that even in my toughest times I have never thought about making quick money in illegal ways, it never even crossed my mind. Of course wherever I am or whatever I have achieved in this life was all through God’s plans and nothing to do with me. Without him, I am truly nothing. I am so thankful for everything that he has done for me and I can not ask for more. I have realized that during all these years, studies and educations were a big part of my career and life. Even in times that I wanted to give up on studies and only focus on work, magically something happened that I end up pursuing my education. The same goes for my Master’s degree which I was admitted to a university with a scholarship. When I graduated with the Master’s degree I thought that this is the end of my journey for education and it is finally time to fully concentrate on work and settle my life. But again as always based on some supernatural ways I get a chance to do my Ph.D. at a university in the United Kingdom. Once more, I was amazed by God’s plans that something has happened so that I can continue my studies in a field that I was always passionate about. The university and the department have decided to provide me with a stipend monthly salary and a wave on the yearly international tuition fees. The university decided to provide me the mentioned scholarship because of the high grades that I had achieved in my Master’s degree (4.0 CGPA). To enroll in the Ph.D. course (starts February 2020) I have to pay the first year tuition fee in advance which is also one of the requirements for getting the visa too. The waived tuition fee is £7000. I truly believe that I can afford to pay the consequence years since I will have the stipend monthly salary and maybe some part-time jobs. This is a crucial time for me and my future career as I really want to undertake the Ph.D. and I just need help with the initial first-year payment to enroll in the course. I do not want to miss this great opportunity. As you might know, getting a Ph.D is challenging and the selection process is competitive, (universities usually select only 1 candidate for each position among hundreds of other students depending on the course) especially the paid ones. Any support will be truly appreciated and will be a great help to my career. Once again I do not how I end up here and wrote all these but I have felt in my heart that I need to do it. Likewise, I will make sure to aid anyone in the future and pass the generosity whenever it is possible. apologize for taking your time and for any bad English or grammar. Thank you and God bless you.  🙏

Tuition and Rent Help

 

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out for help, because I am faced with potentially being pushed out of my home and school, due to lack of finances. I work, go to school full-time, manage a business, and also care for others in my family on a regular basis.

My mother has been jobless since the beginning of the pandemic, and has not received relief that can support medical bills she faces. Because of this, she has moved in with me, and I have been helping to support her, my two kids, and my 4 animals (a bunny, German Shepherd, and two cats). I have also been struggling to afford tuition for my terms, and no longer have financial aide to support myself through the remainder of my two years.

It is my goal in life to help others, so reaching out for help has been a challenge. I seek aide to help grow my business in helping others (I offer therapy for low-income citizens, and also offer therapy animal comfort through my registered and trained animals). In order to keep supporting myself, my mother, and my business, I have decided to ask for help getting back on my feet after getting so many things thrown at me over this past year.

With the help received, I would be able to pay rent, cover more tuition, and better support my kids, my mother, and my animals. With help, we would be able to live without fear of being homeless, completely jobless, and can stabilize our lives again.

I am grateful for the opportunity to reach out, and hope that someone might be able to offer some form of help.

Thank you,

Samantha

Help an Autistic Artist Pay for College

Howdy y’all! I’m Cooper, and I’m 19 years old. When I was younger, my dad ran a successful coal company and we were well off enough. However, when I was in middle school, he was falsely accused of a tax related crime that nobody ever explained to me. There was a SWAT team sent to lay siege to his office and our family’s house, the following legal battles drained most of our resources, and my dad had to go to prison for a year or risk more financial ruin. The year he was gone was extremely difficult for my mom and I, and even now that he’s home we’re still struggling to make ends meet. On top of that, our house was flooded a few months after he came back and we had to pay for the floors to get repaired while paying for a hotel to stay in until the repairs were done. We still haven’t totally moved back in. Many of our appliances have broken in the past few months, and last week, something went wrong with the plumbing and now we don’t have hot water.

 

On top of this, I am autistic and need medication to function. My prescriptions are Vyvanse and Citalopram, and while the citalopram isn’t too costly, a 30 day supply of Vyvanse is $270. This would be bad enough if I was the only one who needed medication in the house, but both my parents have several prescriptions they have to have as well. Mom also needs leg surgery, but we can’t afford it. She runs an estate sale business and overworks herself, so she might be exacerbating the issue. However, she doesn’t have much of a choice.

 

I’m also currently enrolled at the Savannah College of Art and Design, and I’m so grateful. I want to go into either animation or comics, and SCAD has some of the best resources to make that happen. However, it’s expensive just taking classes from home right now, and moving in next school year will mean adding the meal plan bill on top of it. Supplies for classes add up quickly. I did get quite a bit in scholarships, but I’m still paying around $36,000 a year. By the time I graduate, I will likely wind up $90,000 in debt.

Now, I’m sure you’re wondering why I don’t just get a job, and that’s a fair concern. Towards the beginning of the whole pandemic nightmare, my mom had to take me off the car insurance to save money, so I can no longer drive. We live in Arkansas, so public transportation is not really a viable option. In addition to this, I mentioned before that I am autistic and attending SCAD. SCAD courses are work heavy and the school has a reputation for being intense. My classes are also at odd hours which would complicate setting my hours. I’ve been working on my executive functioning for years and I’m much better than I used to be, but I would likely underperform in either the job or my classes if I tried to do both, and that’s not an option. Furthermore, nobody is really hiring right now.

So what am I asking for exactly? While there’s a ton of things going on, I think that covering college costs would help my family most in the long term. It would lift a weight off of our shoulders, and my mom might finally relax a bit.

Tuition for SCAD is $52,554 a year, including the meal plan. One of my scholarships is allowing me to enter as a sophomore, so I only need to pay for 3 years rather than four. I also received $22,795 in financial aid, so that means I’m paying $36,221 a year. Based on that, the amount I need to cover the costs of tuition and the meal plan should be $108,663.

I have attached a screenshot of my financial aid offer from the school below. I can send the pdf on request. Thank you for your time.

Unemployed College Student

Hello! My name is Brianna White. I am attending Beckfield College to become a registered nurse. Lately with all of the Covid-19 pandemic I got laid off and denied for unemployment. My college bills are getting extremely hard to make and I’m about to get kicked out. On top of that I’m having issues paying my rent. I’ve been looking for jobs and I’ve applied too all that I can but many places are still not hiring. I would appreciate if you could send even $10 to help me out. My bill for school for this semester is $8267.97. Luckily I’ve saved up almost $1500 but that’s not near enough. Even a couple dollars would work and it would mean a lot. I’m desperately trying to get back on my feet. I can’t get kicked out of school. I have worked entirely too hard and I only have 3 semesters left. I don’t normally like asking people for money but this is my last resort. Like I said, any money would help and I’ll be so thankful.
Thank you!

Following…. What is a dream… Nurse

Hello. My name is Olizy and I am portuguese human being who recently had to emigrate due to family problems.

After moving from Portugal to London due to family abuse I found out what my passion was…. Care for people.

Sounds touching right?

 

Well it’s not that much.

 

I wanted to became a nurse because of my grandma. Because was during that time I found out she died in Africa.

 

And my goal was being able to go and see her one day….. Not always what we want happens… Not in real life… I guess.

 

 

So me wanting to be a nurse was not just a dream anymore. Became reality in 2015.

I end up finding a job in a hospital ( princess royal) was amazing because I would learn how to take care of people and o though the year later apply for the nursing course. Because money was tight but I thought I could save something for a year… I am a book worm anyway.

 

Although didn’t go as planned because I was quicked on my flat. So. Goodbye money.

 

Next… I had to send money to my mom. Because she was also alone and my mom is important, even if you two don’t get along… Like all mothers right….

 

Don’t let your mother down….

 

Although brexit came, the rent higher. Everything was difficult.

 

I was forced to move out because if not I had to dissolute from my nationality. I couldnt…

Being who you are is important. Including belonging to a group ( nationality) in this case.

 

 

So i moved to the Netherlands. Why? I couldn’t go back to Portugal.

 

Holland is nice good. But my dream to be a nurse didn’t go well. I have to start from the bottom.

 

All my experience and everything would serve for nothing

 

I started as a cleaner because I didn’t speak the language.

 

So I saw myself working hard to get to an understanding of what is the dutch language.

 

Voilà!

8 months later it happened. Then I found a job… Well job/ studies “BBL opleiding ” how they call it here.

 

Is good although is so beginner level that makes me unhappy.

 

What am I saying!

 

Is good.

We have to start from somewhere right?

 

I am so afraid to fail. The language is OK now. But next to them (native speakers) I’m like a baby. And being an introvert… Believe me doesn’t help.

Going back to why I need money.

 

I want really to finally became a nurse. Is my passion. I dream about it. I wake up with that thought.

I am going crazy I think…

I study and study and study because its what matters.

 

But the money is the problem.

My salary is too low 1200 to save. Pay rent of 950 and do the rest.

 

I am in need of 4000 euros maximum to finally being able to study.

Anyone there. Who is reading or will read my story…. Please…

I’m probably like you… Or not… If you can read “me” and if you could help me. With anything…

 

I would be so grateful and I would do my best to make it happen… Life just happens one’s… So that’s why I am here trying.

Maybe I am lucky. Maybe not. But… I am here.

 

 

Greetings

 

Olizy

Schooling help

I don’t have a picture of my bill right now but I was laid off due to Covid-19. I’m a full time student in radiology school and my bill is started to stack up. If I can’t pay it then I can’t continue to school. My parents don’t have the money to help me and I feel awful asking my grandma. I’ve tried finding another job but I can’t because no one is hiring right now. I’m not normally a beggar for money but anything will help while I continue searching for a job. It would mean so much even if it’s just a couple dollars. I don’t want to drop out of school…I’ve gotten so far to go that. If you can help that would be great.

Thank you so much

Can’t work due to Covid-19 and might be kicked out of school

Hello, I am a 20 year old University student starting my 4th year of a geosciences major and business minor, in British Columbia, Canada. When I first applied to universities, my goal was to get away from my homophobic, emotionally abusive family, and I did! I was often threatened with being kicked out of the house due to whom I liked, so I moved away for school and cut all ties. At first, I worked a part time job and went to school full time, as I qualified for a decent amount of support from the government. But this last year my estranged family gained a decent amount of money and it disqualified me from the support. I took to working 2 jobs while in school full time. That was until Covid-19 hit.

 

I suffer from a compromised immune system, which on its own isn’t too bad, but along with my asthma, and my auto-immune diseases, I am considered very high risk. Both of my jobs laid me off as soon as they could, and all my doctors say working right now is still very risky for me. I was told that if I do get sick, I could end up in the hospital for a long time, or possibly worse. This meant I could collect unemployment for a bit. But as school starts up, and I don’t return to work, that too will run out.

 

Now I have been trying my hardest to keep myself afloat during this difficult time. Mentally and financially. I only pay for things that are 100% necessary, like rent, my medications, and soon I will have to decide between paying for my tuition or for food/meds. I have already gone to a food bank, just to eat for a few days, on more than one occasion. Buying groceries, I can go without for a while, the medications however, I can not. If I were to stop taking my medications to pay for some of my tuition, I would still likely not make it to graduation.

 

Overall, I am need of $18,000 total for the school year, and so far I have only $6,400. I have done everything I possibly could to try and do to pay for school since the beginning.  Now, I am $60,000 in debt, and may have to drop out of school without graduating, because I can’t pay for my tuition. This is honestly my last resort, and I hate that I have no one to turn to for help.

 

Thank you so much for reading this far. Anything would be greatly appreciated!

Shooting for the stars!✨

I am a single mom of 5 and currently in college to be a doctor. With things being uncertain during the coronavirus, day care hasn’t been too much of an option and I have a small child with chronic asthma. Taking any unnecessary risks can be excruciating to her condition and things have been especially hard. I am working part time but even that isn’t enough to fully cover us and the cost of books and supplies for school. As we all know, college isn’t cheap. Just asking for help for supplies and to cover a few lab fees as well as some access codes for classes. I pray that things get better soon for everybody that this Virus has effected. I am literally terrified of bringing something home that can potentially hospitalize my daughter. I also struggle with having an autistic son who isn’t taking not being on a good school schedule because of the virus very well. I do take extra precautions but financially it just isn’t enough. I am literally 2 years away from graduating and do not want to let this be the reason I give up. Universities only offer so much assistance to students and like myself, a lot of us are in the same boat. Anything helps because it’s more than I have currently. I’m just a small town girl dreaming of being a doctor and finishing my goals.

Books to better myself.

Hi all, thank you for taking the time to read my message. No one wants to beg but sometimes desperate times call for desperate measures. I’ve found myself in financial hardship. I had a good job but unfortunately was dismissed under health grounds. I had kyphoscoliosis corrected in a 10 hour operation to fuse my spine, my employer supported this but subsequent absences of acute asthma and total placenta previa was not supported. I’ve had a bad time with my health but I’m now on the mend and caring for my 3 daughters. I’m struggling to find a job as the reference provided from my last job has come from HR not my manager. It states ‘Francine’s performance was satisfactory. This employee was dismissed due to long term absence’. No employer wants to see that. It hurt me deeply as I was very good at my job, I even trained others. Funny thing is I worked for DWP within the disability side. No one cared when I left, no one contacted me, no one offered me support. Honestly it was heartbreaking as I cared about my work. Anyway the reason why I have found myself here is because I’ve decided that rather than seek employment, I would re-train instead. I’ve enrolled with The Open University to study Arts and Humanities (I studied Art at college and had a keen interest in Art History). I thought now is a good time to do it whilst my children are young so I can still be around for them. I’ve applied to student finance to help me with my tuition costs, it will put me in more financial debt but I’m not as concerned about that yet as I’m not earning yet. I just need a tiny bit of help to buy my books. There’s only 3 surplus ones I need outside of the provided course books. The total is £27.97 for their face value. I have put a copy of the letter with the required books in my images. It may seem like a small amount to some, but after paying for school uniform and general household bills and food I’m left with a deficit. I don’t have spare money at the end of the month, and the debts are mounting up. I’m keeping on top of it the best I can, but of course it’s a worry. I’m staying positive, my time will come. If anyone wants to email me for more information, please feel free I’m an open book. I’ve had a lot of lows and life experiences in my life and I’m only 36. It’s time for me to achieve the life I want for me and my children. I’m going to make them proud.

Need help to pay for College

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Daisy Nunez. I am the mother of three daughters. Born with a clef lip and palate, and an individual with a learning disability (dyslexia) who never stops trying. I am writing this letter to you, since I have finally been given the opportunity to go into a private nursing program, a dream I have always had. From being bullied due to my multiple disabilities to recovering from an abundance of surgeries, I’ve always had to struggle and fight for my place to succeed. Through the struggles, I have been able to become a nursing assistant and first responded too many in need.

In 2011, my husband volunteered to help individuals impacted by 911. Due to state and nature of 911, my husband began to developed complications with his health, and is currently blind in one eye. In addition to being blind in one eye, his motor skill has been deteriorating slowly, so he now always has a need to walk with a cane.  Unfortunately, we were told that he does not qualify for assistance from the 9/11 program because he did not develop cancer. Every day, I thank God that he does not have cancer, but having a husband with increased health complications has increased financial burden, not only for myself but for my family.

Working as a nursing assistant does not provide much income, especially when you are the sole provider for your family. Scholarships can be plentiful when you are young and are enrolled in certain undergrad concentrations, but for me, scholarship opportunities are like a needle in a haystack. Becoming a registered nurse is a dream that I have always been trying to pursue. When I help someone else, I feel good. I would appreciate any finial assistance that is offered. I am also willing to provide my GPA and a detailed explanation on my progress at nursing school. I’d like to acknowledge the difficulties that some may be facing in this pandemic, while also acknowledge that any financial assistance would be a great deal of help for me to achieve my dream. Thank you for taking the time in reading a little about me and why I am humbly asking for help to attending Palm Beach International College.

Thank you, Daisy Nunez
