Finish Tags

I recently lost my job to someone in the companies family, I am scared to lose my apartment too because I need the living until I finish school to land a better job. I used my remaining money from work, and financial aid to pay as much rent as I could without facing eviction and tuition debt. Now I have no job, car, or money to afford food until next month. I'm scared because school is important to me and I went through every other route so far...

Please help if you are generous and giving, if you do, its only for food, thank you and god bless you!

Hi,
I'm extremely new to this but I am just trying to find ANY possible way to help me finish my last year in school. I have been working since high school and have recently lost my job my junior year in college. My courses start in the summer because i had to sit out spring. I have used all loans and grants that are available to me and feel as if I have reached a dead end. I need $1300per semester and have two left so that is $2600. But if I can get ANYTHING that would be great!!!! Thanks for reading and if you can-- help-- if not that's fine. I'm sure God will find a way :-)

I'm from Brazil, i have 23 years old and recently i got fired from my job and i need to pay the university, i can't find a job, i am about two month searching and nobody gives me a chace to work. i need only finish my university. and i need paid only 2 monthly payments before the interest begins, if it begins, my debt will increase exponentialy, please every cent will help me a lot!

I am looking for money to complete a degree program in Speech Language Pathology. I need to finish four courses over the summer to transfer into a four year university in the fall. I'm not looking for much. The tuition is $650.00. The school stated that they do not provide financial aid during the summer which is why I need assistance. I have Multiple Sclerosis and I am unable to work full-time to recieve tuition reimbursement, etc. from a job

I don't like the word beg but I guess that is what it is. My pride is high and I hate asking for help but I don't know what else to do. I saw something on TV and decided to try this. Here goes!
I am a 39 year old with 3 children and a disabled husband. I have a lot of issues right now that I am trying to deal with and keep my family off the streets. I don't mind sharing my story if need be because honesty is the best policy. My husbands SSI is very low, as if he has not really worked and he is over 50. I have been trying to keep my head up and keep my bills paid. I work but my job is a PRN position because it was all I could get. I was making a fairly good pay until they decided our department needed cut backs and cut our hourly pay almost three dollars. I am trying so hard to finish school to be a LPN and then a RN. I have been trying to finish school since 1992. I know that if I can get my degree, I can provide for my family. So, I have bills up my butt and school is hard. Now, I am dealing with losing my financial aid because though I have a high enough GPA, my other cumulative average is below standard. I knew nothing about that. I was focusing on making sure my grades were good enough. My 14 year old daughter is pregnant and I can't even afford to begin buying baby things or think of how to save for it. My husband is so content with his little check until nothing else matters. My oldest daughter is in college with me trying to get her LPN but her hearts desire is to be an OB/GYN but they changed the required score level for the SAT and ACT and she registered one quarter to late to get in. Had she registered earlier, she could have gotten in the school she wants to attend but now she has to go to a local college and earn credits and then transfer, IF her grades are good enough. ON top of all that, my husband was just hit in the rear by another driver and our car was totaled and he was hurt. So, my only car, of which I was paying on still, is gone and I owe to much on it for the insurance to pay it off.
I feel overwhelmed, depressed and like I will never make it. I am working, attending school, and trying to write a book and do a gospel CD. Anything to try and bring in money to support my family. I really don't know what else to do.
I don't know if this works or not, but I am willing to try. I have felt so bad until at times I wanted to just end it all but I know that is not the example I want for my children. I want to see my grand daughter born and I want my children to finish school and do better than me, but also see me come out of my struggle. I keep telling them I am going to buy the house we live in, they keep laughing and even with that, the land lord is talking about putting it on the market because I can't come up with what I need to even start buying. I pray that God blesses my household and family. If someone does decide that my issues are worth helping, then I pray God bless you with an overflow for your blessing me. I don't know what else to say but thank you in advance. As embarrassed as I am, I can only pray this is real. If not, at least I got to vent and get it all of my chest. I had no one else to tell anyway.
Thank You!

Hi, I need to come up with $2700 to finish my Lpn degree. I was almost finish and became pregnant. I have no help and wanting to go back nov 2012 or jan 2012. Thanks so much

Please help with this charity with their last-ditch effort to save a home from Foreclosure:

"We were able to convince the bank to give us 1 month before they do an auction and we end up on the street.
I believe that by asking you and other fellow neighbors and citizens for a small contribution will go a long way to helping us stay here so our kids can grow up and finish school.

Thank you so much for your consideration.

I'm trying to finish nursing school at NYU. I have a 3.7 GPA and can't get loans. Please help. With school and rent in New York, I am not able to make ends meet.

Hi I am a mom of 3 children, 1 a special needs child. I work as a nurse assistant but it only covers about half of our needs. I work hard and do my best every day and try to keep a smile and a good attitude but sometimes your best just isn't good enough. My special needs baby is 8 years old and is speech impaired, deaf in one ear, severely asthmatic, and has ADHD. Medicaid pays for most of the meds and specialists but not all. I pay for some of his meds and specialists and then there's the gas to go to and from. All in all I'm spending about $800 per month that medicaid is refusing. I haven't been able to get an answer why as of yet. I've applied for social security for him but have been denied twice and now am awaiting a hearing which I am told could be anywhere between 18 and 21 months just to get a hearing date. I only make about $1500 per month so simple things like even a trip to the laundromat is a challenge. Apart from my son's problems I also have 2 baby girls aged 9 and 6 to take care of. Thanks be to God they are healthy. All of my family has passed away due to various forms of cancer so it's just my children and my husband and self. He is out of a job presently and has been seeking work since being laid off from his last job (about 7 months). I have applied for a pell grant and registered for LPN classes at the local community college to try to help myself but it will take about 15 months to finish school let alone get a job. I've managed to pay rent but am 2 months behind on the internet bill (used for school) am 5 months behind in car payments and am at risk of a repo any day. If I lose my car then how am I going to be able to go to work,school, take the kids to school, take the kids to the doctor,grocery shop, do laundry, or anything else? I currently do not have auto insurance because I can't afford it.(was cancelled for nonpayment 2 days ago.) I managed to pay my water and cell(about $100) to keep that going. I am almost a month behind on my electricity but have managed to keep it going by paying about half the bill per month. As of now, I have a balance of $150. I don't know what to do. If anyone would please help us I would be forever grateful and appreciative.

Me and my husband were doing great he just got a new job and i was almost finished school.

Hello. In July, 2010, my husband Theo was diagnosed with West Nile Virus and Encephalitis causing him to lose his motor skills and become an infant in a 40 yr old body. The virus is gone, but the effects linger. He has been out of work for almost 21 months. We live in Orlando, FL and Theo has been receiving treatment in St Louis, MO for the last 7 weeks. The treatments are working and the Dr wants to keep him for another 6 weeks. We are trying to raise $3000 to cover the costs of his stay, the Dr visits and his flight home. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I am happy to report that I have been blessed with working overtime and we are down to the last $1,150 that we need to finish paying the bills. Any Help is appreciated!! THANK YOU!

Thank you in advance for your consideration!!

Im a single 29year old mother of two beautiful children, my son is eleven and my daughter is three years old. Im finding it hard to manage their fees every month as I have to provide for all their needs myself, Im determined to see them through school so they can live better lives. Due to financial restraints couldnt finish school, thats why its very important to me that they finish their schooling. I only earn R1500 per month which barely sees us past pay week. My son got 81% for maths this last term, so I know he has tons of potential, but currently I owe the school more than two years of school fees and end of this month, they are handing us over to their lawyers. Im begging you, because where my children's future is concerned, i have no pride. whatever you can offer will help us greatly. thanking in advance

I need to finish my BSN I have one year to go and have used all finacial aid possible I also have 19,000 in medical bills I am paying. I need about 12000 for school

I am an aspiring meteorologist, but family problems and financial issues have me struggling to even finish school. Please help me raise enough money to help pay for my last semester. Any little bit would help as i have merely nothing right now. Unfortunately, my family is struggling with debt and i will not be able to finish out my last semester/year at school in order to obtain this degree. This has been my lifelong dream and it is about to fall short, i have nowhere else to turn then to PLEASE ask for help from my fellow people. THANK YOU so much and may god bless

I desperately need financial help. =(

I am 22 years old and still studying at uni. I never had money issue before. This was until I got a job which instead of providing for my needs, it has been my biggest nightmare.
I got scammed for over $50,000. Now not only can I hardly afford to pay my rent, I also owe even more money to the bank. I have no idea how long it's going to take for me to pay it all back. I still have to finish my study and I am working part-time. I don't come from a rich family. I couldn't tell me parents because I know they've got their own debts. I really wish I never took that job. But it's too late now.

This is not me. All I can imagine now is a dark future. Now, I'm always worried, stressed and depressed.

With all my heart, please help me! Every $ you're willing to contribute will reduce my burden.

Thank you for reading! Hope you can feel how I feel and are willing to help, even just a little.

Thank you again!
God bless!

I am a single mother struggling with non hodgekins lymphoma and trying to go to school and trying to work part time . I am a single mother of 2 kids. I go to treatments 2 days a week and school 3 days a week. I also work 15 hours a week. I need to get about 10,000 dollars to finish my education and pay some bills, so I can try to relax a little bit while trying to get the treatments I need for my cancer. It would really help me to be able to try and get the money I need for school so I can get a better job to be able to raise my kids right. A loan of the money or donation that can be repaid over 10 years would be really helpful and appricated.

I saved up enough money for school but now it turns out I don't have money for living expenses. I get a work permit in November 2012, but by then I won't have any money for next year. The expenses for each of the two years is $17,000, and I saved up just for one year. I need help in making ends meet. I have been looking for work on campus and it's not working out since I was told to wait until August and September for cleaning jobs and restaurant jobs at the school. All the tutoring jobs I have applied for on campus have not materialized so far.

If I do not finish this school, it is over for me. I spent many years in the US in school since 2001, and it resulted in nothing because they didn't give me a work permit, and they did not allow me to stay.I got two bachelors degrees from there but since I did not have citizenship or a green card, I had to leave.

If I finish school here in Canada, I will get a three year work permit, and I can finally be useful to myself and my family. I need to pay back money that I owe my uncle for paying for my primary and secondary education back home in the third world. I need to educate, or at least pay for my niece and nephew who are orphaned to go to college. I need to take care of my sick mother, I have been unable to do that so far because I had to pay for my education in the US out of pocket.

I have other on going problems such as loss of sight in one eye but then that is something to be dealt with when I finally finish school, it is not as urgent as getting the money to pay for school. No matter how badly everything else is going, even with my mom being sick and my being unable to send her money for treatment, school comes first even though ideally it should not be that way.

I have been involved in community service for many years. I worked with DC Habitat for Humanity on a house construction project. I also worked with refugees from 2010 to 2011 before I had to leave the US, I was tutoring English through International Rescue Committee. I am currently working with the Food Bank where I am, and over summer since I will have no on campus jobs, I plan on getting more volunteer jobs so I can give back to the community. Canada has given me so much, a chance at self improvement, so it's only natural that I want to say thank you to this great country.

I am not scared of working, infact when I was in the US I worked full time while going to school full time. I do not want to violate the student visa here in Canada because Canada is a kind country for immigrants and they will definitely give me the work permit come November 2012, as long as I do not work illegally before then.

I am planning to move out of my homestay right now and rent with schoolmates in order to minimize my expenses. I do not usually even eat things like meat, milk, eggs, all of which I do not like or I am allergic to. So I do know how to save money. I learned to live on very little while in the US so I need money to pay for my education so that I can maintain my student visa.

Please help, my family cannot afford to pay for my education, I do not have citizenship from a developed country to qualify for financial aid or scholarships, the scholarships from back home are mostly for those doing masters degrees and PhDs, I'm doing an associates degree right now. They also insist that you must not have already left the country before they give you the scholarship. I will be applying for scholarships in the schoool, and also some bursary from my government which might be only $500, and that is only if I can get someone back home to bribe someone in the Ministry of Education to get that bursary.

I have tried all ways to improve my life for many years, and this time education truly will be a key to improving my life. I am not a stranger to subjecting myself to medical experiments in order to earn more money to pay for school. I need help this time around, this is my last try at improving my future. Going back home will be a disaster since I do not have tall relatives (people with influence) to get me jobs. What's the point of my adding myself to the millions who are dependent on others for help?

Any amount which can be sent to my Paypal account will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, my name is Daniel and I would like to start by saying thank you for taking the time to consider donating towards my education. I recently moved to Seattle for a change and I do love it here, but it is time to get back into school to finish my degree in networking and web-design. I am working a full time job and am all set to start school in June, but I still need a certain amount of help making the educational ends meet. By donating, you would not only be donating towards the acquisition of a physical item, but also towards my peace of mind and a gradual sense of accomplishment. I would like to be at a place in my life where I do not need to ask for help, but that is not the reality of my situation.

. The thing to remember is that I am just a regular guy, a very nice guy, who needs a helping hand to make something of himself. Thank you and have a wonderful day.

I am a single mom with a young son. I am trying to finish college, I am in my 2nd year. Being a single mother is difficult and everything helps. Like every mother in this world I want to be able to give my son the world on a silver platter. Thank you for reading my post and God bless.

Background:

I was born in Argentina, but have lived in Texas since I was 5. I had no say in it; my parents decided that’s what was best for me since Buenos Aires was so crime-ridden. I graduated high school like normal kids, went to a community college right afterwards, and worked part time to cover its costs. I got an Associate’s in Science (Nursing) and then dropped out since I couldn't afford to attend a university nor decide on a major. My GPA was a 3.4 at the time.

I'm now 25, working full time (Geek Squad, can’t do much with an associate’s), studying electrical engineering, married to my high school sweetheart, and have my goals set! I just have one thing holding me back...MONEY. Since I backtracked when I changed majors, I had a few sophomore classes to take. I'm finishing them at the same community college, and I'm registered for the Fall semester at the University of Texas at Dallas (Junior level courses). I have gotten nothing but As since I've been back!



Why I Need Your Help:

Now, you may be wondering, why can't I use FAFSA? Well, I recently obtained my permanent residence. That was a big roadblock growing up. One of the agreements I had with our nation was that I would not use federal funds (welfare, food stamps, grants, FAFSA, etc) for the next 10 years. I work full time and attend as many classes as I can per semester; I have no time for lollygagging.

Sallie Mae can only loan me so much, and banks nowadays make it very difficult to borrow from for school. All the scholarships I’ve looked for require either citizenship or full time enrollment, neither of which I am. (Can’t enroll full time because I need to work full-time to make ends meet) My father is a construction worker and I don’t know my mom, she left us when I was 7. I just sold my laptop on eBay and made myself a cheap one from recycled parts. I've tried getting internships, but I'm not deep enough into my career to be eligible yet. Nearby family members don’t have any spare cash, and don’t make enough to co-sign a loan for me….So I’m here, hoping some kind strangers can help me out.

I am a hard working student, good Samaritan, bilingual, a jokester, drug-free, do calculus in my head, pay taxes, 740 credit score, and drive a broken down Pontiac. My only goal right now is to finish school with flying colors as soon as possible; just need this financial roadblock to meet a wrecking ball.

Will you help me smash it down?

Im a second year architect student studying abroad away from the family. I ahve been going through a financeial disaster since january..i still haven't paid half of my course fee and the hostel fee. My parents were strong enough to send me money for past year whenever i wanted.
Unfortunately, at the moment my mom is suffering from diabetics and my dad had to drop the job to take care of her. I kindly request you to help me with some amount to live until i finish my degree. god bless!

I was laid off from my job in February and since then my school tuition payments have not been made. I have a balance of 1,000 dollars on my account. I will not be allowed to walk in the graduation ceremony or get my diploma until this is paid. It has taken me 7 years to finish this and I want to participate in the graduation ceremony. If you are able and would like to help me please contact me ASAP. My request is legitamate and all information can be provided. Donations can be made to my Paypal account or directly to the school. Serious responses only and no scammers please. Please help me complete this chapter of my life. Thanks.
