Hello,

I have been hesitant to write this post but I am really desperate. I am a psychology pre-med student with a 3.9 GPA in my final year of college. I also volunteer at a local hospital 20 hrs a week and at a counselling center. I work as a tutor and have been able to raise money for one semester, however I simply cant afford my last semester which is 2500. I would love to work more hours but i am an international student, therefore I can only work 20 hours a week.

I am begging anyone willing to help me, to help in anyway. I ahve come so close and worked so hard, I cant imagine quiting at this point.

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!

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.

I am currently enrolled in school and carrying a 3.785 GPA. I am working full time (2 jobs). I do not qualify for much aid but I have applied for grants and scholarships. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

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?

I'm a sophomore in college in North Carolina. I have 3.7 GPA but still do not get nearly enough financial aid to cover my costs for school. I work part time as a waitress, but the money I earn is used for groceries and bills. Both of my parents have drug issues and I have lived with my grandparents since I was about 7 but they barely can afford to take care of themselves, let alone myself and my brother. I am a hard working person. I worked very hard to get into college. I hope this isn't my last year. I would like to make something out of myself. All donations are greatly appreciated. If you would like , I will send anyone that donates a picture of myself and my diploma when I graduate. Thank you so so much.

I dropped out of school in '03 went back to a technical school in '09 where I got on the Dean's list with a 4.0 GPA in pharmacy but now I want to take it a step further and go back to the University of Texas and get a pharmacist doctorate. The thing is I have a past school bill I didn't even know existed! I thought I had paid it off but it was so long ago I can't remember. So it's $773 and if I can get small contributions towards that and to start off my new school year I'd be completely appreciative forever! Plus I'm paying off my technical school loan myself which is making things hard. Thanks for listening :-)

I'm a 33 year old mother of three boys. I grew up in an abusive home and proceeded on to an abusive marriage that lasted 13 years. From that marriage I have 2 sons, ages 13 and 11. My 13 year old was diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome at age 9; my 11 year old has conduct disorder and has a tentative diagnosis of bipolar disorder. About 4 years ago, I finally had the courage to walk out of my abusive marriage and try to build a safe and normal life for my sons. Fast forward a year, and I found the love of my life and soulmate and remarried.I moved 5 hours away from my ex husband, thinking we would be safer. My ex husband remarried as well. Unfortunately, he married an attorney. Over the course of the last 3 years, we have been kept in court with custody battles and such, while my ex used his new wife's knowledge of the law to find every possible way to avoid paying child support. WE had to pay for an attorney, while his wife represented him for free. Not to mention, the court where we had to go for these cases was less than a mile from his home, while we had to travel 5 hours each way. My current husband and I have a son together now who is almost 2 years old. For 6 months of the last year my ex had finally been paying child support. My husband works to provide for us, while also having to support his son from a previous marriage. That's supporting 6 people on one income! So, having the child support really helped. (I am currently unemployed as we have no means of transportation and live in a rural area with no public transportation, and also have 2 children who are too old for daycare, yet cannot be left unattended due to their disorders.) We werent wealthy by any means, but we managed to make it from week to week and keep our bills paid. However, in October, my husband's employer went out of business with no notice. In the same week, my ex ceased making child support payments and the transmission went out in our vehicle. My husband, out of desperation, found a friend two towns away who would allow him to stay with him so my husband would be in an area with public transportation so he could look for work ( the friend has a one bedroom home that would not house us all, so the kids and I stayed here). All he has managed to find so far is a part time fast food job that barely covers his child support payments. This morning I was delivered the court eviction papers that will render my children and I homeless. If this happens, I have no doubt that my abusive ex will do everything he can to take my children away from me. At this point, I do not even have a way to get to the grocery store, let alone to another state to fight for custody of my children, and I certainly cannot afford legal representation. Our current situation is this: my husband and I must live in two different towns because of lack of transportation and income; I am stranded in the middle of nowhere with two special needs children and a toddler; we are on the verge of eviction with no place to go (neither my husband nor I have any family who can help); all of our utilities will be turned off within a week (no water or heat, we already do not have a phone); and my vindictive, abusive ex husband who does not even bother to financially support his children could potentially regain custody if we find ourselves homeless. I am living in a nightmare right now, and am at the end of my rope! I have no other place to turn and I am really praying that this option can help me find a light at the end of this long, dark tunnel. My h usband and I are both abuse survivors who have children with special needs. We are currently full time college students, studying psychology and social work (3.88 GPA's for both of us) because we have been through just about everything imaginable and want to use our past negative experiences to help others who are suffering or surviving and trying to cope. Our only goals in life are to give our children a decent life and help others who need it when we are able. All we need is a little help getting to the point where we are able.

I'm a 20 year old female graphic design student trying to live my dream. NYC is so expensive and paying for school is soo hard. I have a 3.6 GPA but I don't want to have to quit school because I can't afford it. I try very hard but it seems it is becoming harder and harder. Lunch everyday is $10.00 the cheapest and forget about the costs of books and software. I try and ask my mother for help because she is the only one that I have but she isn't doing too good either. I live with my grandmother but she is on disability and can't afford to help. I do work study but that can be draining because my school is tough. The least classes I've taken was 7, I am in my 4th semester and I'm taking 8 classes. Please help me, anything is better than nothing. I really need money for school, I'd rather not eat for the day. If you want to see who this girl is just e.m.a.i.l me glamdoll91 at gmail dot com.

Hi, I have never done anything like this before but I figured that it does not hurt to try. I know that if I had money I would be the first to help someone else in need. I have bad teeth. I have tried everything known to man to try to get funding to fix my teeth. I have no health insurance. Nobody to help me. I am a full time student and I have a 3.85 gpa! All I would want is to be able to get my teeth fixed before I finish school so I can get a decent job! I cannot even smile. It is due to degenerative gum disease. I have taken care of my teeth very well. This is something that cannot be stopped nor helped. I have gotten numerous consultations and its going to cost more money then I will ever have anytime soon. I have tried donated dental programs and dental schools wont touch my mouth because it needs too much. Donated dental just wants to pull teeth and not put them back! I cant have that! Please help ... I would be willing to repay someone in the future or even make monthly payments. Thanks for reading.

Hello all,

I'm a 21 year old college student with a 3.4 gpa. I'm a art edu major, and things are turning around for the worst. My parents are cutting me off, and i need help with my rent for the spring semester. I really hope you find it in your heart to help me out. I feel like right now it's not my time right now, I'm out helping overs, volunteering my time at the boys and girls club, only not to have help myself. God bless and thank you.

I found out recently that I have cervical cancer, I missed school and didn't quite get my 2.0 GPA to recieve financial aid. My GPA was 1.93, which means I missed it by .07%!!! Now I have no way to pay my tuition, buy my books or pay my bills. I want to complete my education so I can find permanent work.

I am married a veteran who has sustained a traumatic brain injury in Afghanistan. My husband is currently awaiting to receive 100% VA disability, but it has taken a very long time. I am a college student maintaining a steady GPA of a 4.0, and I do my very best to move forward in order to get somewhere in my life, but this year has been an absolute nightmare for our family. I had a premature child this year which resulted in me receiving 25 units of blood transfer and a two week hospitalization. The baby was three months early, but thankfully he did make it and is now doing pretty well. I have a daughter and two other sons who are completely disabled and one is in a wheelchair. We do own our house, but we live in a little town and my husband has to drive 45 miles roundtrip daily in a v8 truck cause that is the only vehicle we have. Right now my husband is being forced to sleep in our truck in freezing weather in order to not lose his job because he will not have enough gas to get back home and to work again for the rest of the week if he does not. I have done everything I possibly can, and somehow I just can't get out of this rut so I am forced to kindly ask those of Christian hearts to please help my family. God will bless you for helping others and spreading genuine love and charity. I don't want a handout, I would rather give it to someone else, but I am at the end of my rope. The fuses in our house blew out and we won't have heat because our house has no heat except plug-in portable heaters. I really need some help. Any will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely,

Veteran's Lady

Hallo,

Thank you for reading my post. I am a hardworking 25-year-old about to graduate from University with two degrees. The thing is, I have about $2000 left to pay and no way of raising the money by January 15th, 2012 myself. I would greatly appreciate your help to avoid the consequences of not paying on time...

My family is poor, so I had to rely on myself the entire time, but finally I have come to a point where I need help. I managed to support myself, pay for my tuition, and maintain a 3.87 GPA until now. For the first three years of College I barely had any free time and my social life was more or less non-existent. I truly dedicated my time to paying tuition fees, but now they have caught up with me. There are no loans I qualify for and all this hard work will be for nothing if I can't pay, because they won't even send me my degrees.

Please consider helping me out, I would be unbelievably thankful!

Yes, I am begging, I don't want to but i need to humble myself. I have 15 credits so far and a 4.0 GPA. I am working on another 3 credits, but I am short 311.00 to finish paying for it. I also had to drop my next class, because i do not have the money. I left a full time job when my husband transferred back to his hometown. I have not been able to get employment. We had to file chapter 13 (have to pay his child support), so I can not get a loan. Stafford loans do not cover it all, and I did not get a pell grant. The course I gave up costs 1242.00 for 3 credits, plus books. I am trying so hard! Please help if you can. Thank You!

Hello! I'm a 28 year old father of three in desperate need of a job. I moved to Eastern Kentucky in 2008 due to lack of work in my home state of Ohio. I have three children and no way to provide for them. I Chose mining as a career choice, but was unable to find a job. I have been trying hard for three years to find a mining job. I have both a KY underground and surface mining license. I am currently attending college and so is my wife. We have no help with child care, so we are having to work around each other and college to try to make it. I have carpentry and HVAC skills, and a 3.8 GPA in college. If anyone in the Eastern, KY area or elsewhere can help my wife and I would be forever grateful.

Thank you for reading this. At this moment I am in desperate need for tuition money. I have a part-time job and a 4.0 GPA but, unfortunately, I'll have to drop out if I can't find a way to make the $3000 that is due at the end of this semester in December. I eat barely at all because I just can't afford food and I study by a flashlight at night to save money on electricity bills. Even $10 would be greatly appreciated and I promise that I will one day pay it forward. Thank you very much.

I am an Army veteran, husband and father of three children (9,5 and 1) who is a full-time student majoring in chemistry. I currently have a 3.85 GPA. I have been trying to find a job everyday putting in probably 10 applications/day. The US has made it difficult to survive, and I was hoping to benefit from the generosity of anyone out there who is more fortunate than my family at this point. I am a humanitarian, and when I finally earn my doctorate, I promise that I will pay your generosity forward ten-fold. Anything you could spare would make life for us easier, and hold off the tears of my wife a little longer. Thank you and God bless.

Hi!! My name is Robert and I am going through a really bad situation. I am a 39 year old that had to go back to school. I have exhausted all my unemployment benefits and currently not working. I have applied everywhere and had no success. I am currently attending Charter College Oxnard CA to become a Medical Assistant and working very hard to achieve this goal. I currently have a 4.0 GPA right now. I will finish in May of 2012. I have 3 children and I need to get back to work ASAP. I have looked for work but no luck with call backs. Financial Aid covered most of it but had to get a ASFG loan (www.uaservice.com) of $1496.59 to cover the rest. If I don't start making payments by October 15, 2011 I will be dropped from the school. Please can anyone help my situation? Any donations will be helpful. Thank you in advance.

Hello, everyone. I'm a neuroscience undergraduate student at a top fifteen school who is scheduled to graduate this upcoming May. I have a 3.82 GPA at this time and have been involved in research, community-service, and leadership activities during my undergraduate years. I plan on starting my application to medical school this next cycle, but I need to figure out a way to pay for it. Paying for college has been very hard for my family for several reasons: My family is originally from Latin America and so has not had much of a chance to build a savings cushion. In addition, even though both of my parents (divorced) make a decent amount of money, my dad decided to not contribute towards my tuition (he wanted me to attend a school that was closer to him), which left the burden of a $42000/yr tuition on the shoulders of my mother (I've contributed as much as possible). Unfortunately, I have not received financial aid because my school doesn't recognize these circumstances, even though I gave them a signed letter from my father stating his intentions. I want to go to medical school -- I've enjoyed every minute of the time that I've spent shadowing physicians --, but I don't want to burden my mother financially any longer. I respectfully ask for a donation to help me move closer towards my dream of becoming a physician. Any amount will help my cause and will be appreciated tremendously.

I am a working single mother. My daughter is in college she works part and holds a 3.5 GPA. I just dont have enough money coming in to keep her in college, pay the rent and bills. I am begging mostly for her I want so bad to see her make it through school. She is starting her 4th year and it is now getting so expensive. Can someone please help with just a little. I never went to school so this is dear to my heart for her. thank you everyone
