Attending art school is not just a personal aspiration for me; it’s the path I believe will help me transform my artistic passion into a sustainable career. However, without financial assistance, this dream could be out of reach. I am in dire need of financial support to continue my education and hone my skills in a professional environment.

Growing up, art was my outlet and my language for expressing emotions, telling stories, and making sense of the world around me. From the moment I first picked up a pencil, I knew I wanted to pursue a career in the arts, but I’ve faced numerous financial challenges that have made this journey difficult. Art school represents more than just a place to learn; it’s an opportunity for me to surround myself with like-minded individuals and mentors who can help me grow as both an artist and a person. However, without the necessary funding, I fear my education and growth in the arts will be hindered.

I was diagnosed with a rare neuromuscular disorder called Charcot Marie Tooth Disease, and in January 2024 I was diagnosed with Degenerative Disc Disease. I was working, till July of 2024 due to a major shift in my health. I legs feel extremely weak. CMT effects my peripheral nervous system that controls my muscles that control my legs. leading to some with CMT to be in wheelchair. On top of that the bending and picking up boxes at my job has become too painful with the shift in my weakness. So I am getting ready to fight the odds of allowing a disability to define me and fight to be financially stable without depending on the government. I am enrolled in Technical College. I am going for an associates degree in Computer Science.  I am looking for others kindness in helping me in my education so that I may obtain a career that would allow for me to work from home or office setting in a wheelchair. my cash app is $Jcraun99.  Thank you all for your time and your consideration in helping in my education.

Hello I am looking for some assistance for school. Tuition is 7000. That’s includes books and supplies. I have been struggling a lot. Car stop working 3 months ago. Only thing I want is to better my future. I have applied to student loan programs and grants. I was denied.

I am a single parent to an 18-year-old boy named Jeremy. He is a great son, friend and as his teachers describe him “an old soul”. Just an all-round amazing human being. I got a legal separation from a man that helped me raised him for 9 years, up to he was 16 years old. I am very grateful for all he did for us. I am a firm believer of the phrase “A grateful heart is a magnet for miracles”.

My story is as follows… While married I was very well off. We enjoyed a lavish lifestyle (trips, nice vehicles and all that it had to offer) BUT my husband started drinking heavily after 5 years of marriage, he began to try to control me by being a financial bully. I tried holding the marriage together because he was the first man my son had ever lived with. We always lived alone prior to that and now. I exited that marriage after 9 years because there was nothing else, I could do to fix it on my own. We decided too legally separate. He made me sign some paperwork, not knowing I was signing off what was rightfully mine. The agreement also included that he would pay my son’s school until he graduated.

We had a house in Canada and rented a nice apartment in Buffalo, NY (where my son had attended HS for two years already – Freshman and Sophomore years). While married I use to travel constantly across the border and resided in both Canada and Buffalo. After the legal separation, my son and I moved permanently to Buffalo and my ex-husband stayed in our matrimonial home in Canada.  My family wanted us to be closer to them instead of alone here in Buffalo, NY. So, my son thought it would be ok if we moved closer to my family in NYC. We moved to NJ close to a school that was similar to his all-boys school in Buffalo. Since I only have one child and my son never been through an experience like this, we did not know that mid Junior year at the school in NJ; he was depressed. He is so selfless, that he never mentioned anything to me. I thought all was well until his teachers at that school, called me with their concerns, they said they thought he was depressed because he was always secluded and looked sad. I decided that he would finish the Junior year there and start Senior year with his peers, in Buffalo. I was told that schools do not transfer seniors but his teachers and principal in Buffalo, in communication with the school in NJ, understood the severity of the issue at hand and told my son that if he excelled in his Junior year, they would gladly accept him back. And excelled he did!

Long story short, I have a career as an Accountant, but my salary is only enough for my bills, food and I am struggling to pay my son’s last year of private school.

When we moved, my ex-husband was still paying the school because it was part of our agreement since he was the one that could afford that lifestyle, but since he saw no other way to continue controlling me, he stopped paying midyear the school in NJ.

Currently, we owe $5,379.02 at the school in NJ and need his Junior year transcript for him to apply to college on January 5th, 2025.

The good news is that he violated the separation agreement, and it is now null. I can sue for my share that he deceived me with. As soon as my son starts college, I can focus on just that. That also cost money and now, my priority is getting my son to college. He dreams of going to Syracuse University. Please help us if you can.

Thank you and God Bless

Hello,

I’m reaching out for your kind help to complete the payment of my daughter’s college fees. As a recently separated father of three, I never imagined I would find myself in this situation, and it’s severely affecting my mental health.

I work long hours in ride-sharing and various gigs to support my family. Unfortunately, I lost my Uber account and my car in a hit-and-run accident, which has left me struggling to make ends meet.

The University of Houston has informed me that my daughter cannot register for classes next semester due to unpaid tuition, and I urgently need $15,000 to resolve this issue. I am open to a loan as well,  any amount would greatly help.

This plea comes from a heartbroken father who wants to support his children. I had a solid plan for my daughter’s education, but the challenges from my marriage have derailed those plans. Now that those issues are behind me, I am committed to starting fresh and focusing on my children and my mental well-being.

Im appealing to any kind hearted person to please help me; I don’t want to let my daughter down.

Thank you so much.

I hope this message finds you all well. I am writing on behalf of the future & my future. The demand for qualified therapist has never been greater. The world is in a state of NEED. A need for empathy, understanding and safe spaces. Many of us are striving to make a meaningful impact in our communities and then some. I’ve been trying to stay afloat and am facing some extreme hard times. The problem is, I do not want to settle. I do not want to settle at all, its not even a thought. I cannot let life take over completely -I am asking for financial assistance to complete my RTT program – which will put me in a position to help others instead of being on the receiving end! I am capable and more than willing to be of service in bettering this place which we live.

I am seeking financial assistance to get through School to go through an accredited program & become an Officially Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist (RTT). I enrolled in November of 2023 and lost access to my learning account because of no payments. Life has created a few tough blockages & I’ve somehow managed to be able to stick the tip of my nose above water. I am trying so very hard to not be so torn apart.  Your generous support would help me achieve this mission of receiving high quality education as I am aspiring to enter the field of therapy. The funding will go directly to the school’s financial department. This will allow me to focus on my studies and professional development without the burden of financial strain – (which will also put great improvement on me physically, mentally, & personally). I cannot receive financial aid – I currently hold a bachelor’s in human services & have already exhausted my options through financial aid. I got lucky speaking with RTTs financial advisor, and they made it, so my payments are $795 instead of $949. I’d be paying $9,540 instead of $11,376. I am thankful for the discount. I dream daily of completing this program and seeing the post-nominal initials at the end of my name. I dream of it all day. I truly need help, I want to win, I want to help others. I appreciate any amount, and every amount sent to make this dream a reality.

The payment for Schooling is 12 monthly payments of $795 = $9,540

This generous act will cover tuition costs, provide resources and materials & put me in good standing with the school’s finance department.

I can accept the payment through Pay Pal

Hi,

First off, thank you for taking the time to read my story. I am a proud mom to an only child who has been my world in the past 19 years of her existence. A few years ago, my daughter was given the opportunity to see the United States for the first time. It was a trip that my husband spent a lot of time and money on because he wanted our daughter to see the world beyond our developing country in Southeast Asia. During our trip, she was able to see a few states in the US, specifically Florida, New York and Missouri. At that time, her uncle was working in one of the top 15 universities in US. When we came to visit him, he decided to show our daughter what the campus looked like. That day change her life forever.

Fast forward to 2 years after that trip, our daughter gets accepted into a private high school in St. Louis that provides student visas for International students. She graduates in the top 5% of her class, and top 10% of all seniors in Illinois (since we lived in Illinois at that time). She applies to the school she has been setting her heart on over the past 2 years, and she gets accepted! With God’s grace, all her hard work had paid off.

We did not know if we would be able to afford her education at that time, but we know there would be options available to us/her later on. Unfortunately, we found out that she was not eligible for most of the scholarships, grants and loans because of her student visa status. As we had just moved to the US, my husband and I had no credit history and therefore could not take a loan out on our own, and we had no close relatives who could sign off as a cosigner either. Our savings would see us through our daughter’s first year in college, but we would have to find finding for the rest of the 3 years. As circumstances would have it, the funding we had expected did not pan out…

Our daughter’s tuition is due in a couple of weeks, which is why I am now reaching out to the kindness of your hearts… those of you who would even take the time to read my story. And I pray that you can help us get through this difficult time, so we can provide for our daughter’s future. I thank you for your generosity…

Sincerely,

A Loving Mom
