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 am 23 years old and I am a junior and a mathematics major. I have currently ran into some financial trouble. I moved away to a different state and had to pay out of state tuition. This caused me to go into credit card debt and other debts as well. I am able to go to school in the fall as an in state student finally, after a year and a half, and I really need help. I need help paying for my books, firstly. After that I really need to get out of debt. Every dime that I have been made has been going towards getting out of debt, but it doesn't seem to be making a dent. I am about to be turned over to a collection agency if I can't pay some of my debt off by june 1st. I am very stressed and very scared. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Hello My name is Ashanti, I attend Bloomfield College and I'm currently a junior majoring Allied Health. I'm trying to take summer classes this summer '12. But unfortunately I don't have the money to pay for the tuition. The class is currently 2500 and I'm unemployed and have no way of getting this money. If anyone could help I would so much appreciate it. Thank You

I wouldn’t normally do this but I so want to go see me son compete in the 2012 London Olympics in the sport of Judo. My son will be given tickets to his event for us watch him compete. But neither his sister, my mother nor I have the money for airfare and hotel. I live on a very small pension and SSDI, which isn’t very much. I live with my mom helping here out since my dad passed away last year and she as well does not have much money either. I have no credit cards and had to file bankruptcy due to the lack of unable to work because of me disabilities and the state finally put me on SSDI and that isn’t that much. My son has been doing judo since he was 7yr old. When he took his 1st Junior National Championship at the age of 8 in Hilo, he came off the plane and told me we was going to go to the Olympic. He never lost that goal. He is now going for the 2nd time around. . Back in 2004 due to layoff and my job being outsourced I ended taking a earlier retirement. My son headed off to college with a partial scholarship in judo. I helped support him in rent, phones, car, insurance, as well as airfare to travel to many international tournaments to help him qualify for a spot on the 2008 Olympic team. I even went back to work using almost all of my funds including my saving and 401k’etc just to get him to the level that he needed to be at and because of that I was unable to go to China in 2008 when he went to his 1st Olympic games because I spent it all getting him there. Then in 2009 I got laid off because the job was being outsource but when I tired finding work I was unable to and the state finally tested me and told me because of my disability that I could no longer work and then put me on SSDI. So if your willing to help that would be a blessing but if you not I understand.

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?

Hi, we have two wonderful kids getting great grades in school. Oldest is a junior in college and youngest is a freshman. We saved for years for college and of course the funds ran out pre-maturely due to the market. Any help is appreciated.

Oldest wants to be a youth pastor. Youngest is majoring in business so she can open a non-profit muffin/tea shop.

Hi my name is Logan, I am currently a junior in college and I had to drop out recently because I couldn't get any financial assistance. Most recenctly this last Fall (2011) I have found out a friend of mine had stolen a few hundred dollars from me too and they also stole from a friend of mine and deep in my heart I told him was would pay him the money that which was stolen from him from a former friend. I'm currently unemployed since July of 2011 but I am doing many odd jobs to make ends meet but what I am making isn't helping that well. I have many bills piling up plus some medical bills too from a seizure condition that I have. My family is hurting financially too, my mom is unemployed and my father has a full time job but its not enough to pay for the numerous bills that my parents have to pay. I am a volunteer EMT and I also am in our local Lions Club and a few other organizations also. I will also donate a portion of donations to those organizations to help with various community projects. Please help my family and I out. Thanks everyone and have a wonderful time with your families and friends.

My name is Marie and this appeal is for help to fix my 2003 Dodge. The transmission pump has gone out and now it needs to be rebuilt. The cheapest estimate I have got is 1,700. I'm a college student in my junior year and trying to finish up my last semester. It's tough not having transportation. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am a junior attending a UC university institution. I am a first generation college student and come from a poor family. My dream is to be an engineer and help support my family as well travel around the world during vacations to places in need such as Haiti, Japan, and spread the word of God. I want to be able to continue my studies and I don't want to put any worry in my mom since she has my siblings to take care of.I need one more year to finish my degree and I am sad that I don't have enough financial assistance to pay for it. All I am asking for is a generous donation and may God Bless you and your family. Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and donating!

My name is Anthony, I am a head of a family with two daughters, my first child is in eighth grade of junior high school and my second child is in the kindergarten classes and the about to enter elementary school, my wife is a housewife and not working. I'm tangled in debt and confused how to pay it off. My income is only enough to feed and the school fees. I pledge my house to get a loan at the bank. I want to pay off all my debts at the bank. My debt is about $ 9,500. I knocked on the generous hearts to be able to provide assistance to me, so I can pay off my debts and the start a new life. Whatever your help is very meaningful to me. May God Bless you.

I am a fighter. My story is a long one with many trials and tribulations; perhaps not much different or worse than others, I am not sure. My name is Elizabeth Newton and I live in Loveland, Colorado; the Sweetheart City and Gateway to the Rockies. I was raised by both parents in a middle class environment. I am the oldest of four, in which, three are brothers. I was a creative child who staged puppet shows and created clubs in our neighborhood. I am not sure if you remember the fuzzy sticky feet, but I made my own with left over pieces of carpet and sold them to my friends.
Moving on, I really struggled in school and got into a lot trouble. I was reckless, promiscuous, used drugs and alcohol and was dangerous. To keep it short, I dropped out in my junior year. When I reflect on those years, I remember some of what I did but mostly I forgot. I guess I felt as though I was being pulled by the strings of a puppet master whose name I now know is Bipolar.
When I turned 18 I shared an apartment with a friend. We both worked for the same nursing home and later for the Bureau of Reclamation. In was at the former job, I received my GED. I was still behaving recklessly resulting in a lot of missed work. But I was having fun being independent, partying all night but slowly losing control of my life.
I became pregnant by my boyfriend and we married several months later. My daughter is a grown woman. I then had another child four years later. Money was also a struggle. My husband wanted me to work but it did not make sense financially. I paid more for daycare then I was paid. When I found a position over the weekends, my husband refused to watch the children. That being said, I was still reckless – the mood would not go away – still a slave of the puppet master. Eventually the relationship became abusive and my husband left leaving $200 on the kitchen table. I did not have a car so I borrowed my father’s truck. I drove my father’s truck with my two small children in back to a safe house. However, it was not so safe. My husband who insulated homes, worked on the safe house. He found the truck and wrote things, I cannot mention here, on the outside of the truck. He coerced my grandmother to call me; and she did! Having to deal with these distractions kept me from focusing on me.
Good news! I was able to move into low income housing. It was a struggle to get my possessions; I took what I could. My father out of the blue wanted his truck back. My mother headed him off at the pass. I think I remember that my life settled down a bit. I enrolled in college. I loved college. In spite of this, I quit school to work from my mother at her computer store. Did I mention my parents were divorced? I am not sure it matters at this point. About six months later, the puppet master caught me and off I was again.
I had a boyfriend – I was 32 years old – and pregnant again…..This relationship was worse that the first. It included drinking, drugs, sexual and physical abuse – oh my, sigh. In the course of it all, I secured a position for one of the largest companies in Loveland. I was thrilled. I had actually come a long way. I divorced my second husband and found my own apartment.
Wow – raising three children on my own was not easy. We got by – I was able to provide what we needed. I forgot to mention I shared custody of my third child and had to pay child support. I never complained; I met my responsibility. I was performing very well at work and procured a position of a trainer. WeeHee – my new position allowed me to travel the globe. Can you imagine, me, the girl from Loveland, Colorado? During this time, I encountered a lot of problems with my ex-husband. Once, he called me at work and said he had a brain tumor. It was a joke; I did not find it funny.
I was promoted again returned to school and bought a house!!! I cannot think of the words to describe these accomplishments. I transformed from the woman driving my father’s truck to a home owner; kind of like the Home Sweet Home book. I was still partying, drinking, but not like before. The puppet master must have been on holiday. I met the man of my dreams and we married in 1998 (I think). We are still together.
The puppet master had those strings a rolling. I could and did accomplish anything. I could see what others could not. I finished school with ease and received my BA in Organization Development in 2005. What year did my story start? We bought a new home in a nice neighborhood. It is a modest home but fits us very well. I was still partying but it was not disrupting my work and home responsibilities.
CRASH! He let go – how could he let go? A woman pulled in front of us and totaled our car. I realize this does not sound traumatic, does it? I really do not know anymore. What I do know is this rocked my world. More than any other event did – and there were many. I could not recover. My performance fell down the well. I could not sleep. I drank a lot. I would even get up at night to drink because I could not sleep. The unthinkable happened. My strings let me down. I swallowed a bottle of pills. I was so afraid. I spent three days in the psychiatric hospital and two months in intensive outpatient therapy. During this time I was on short term disability. I am a fighter; I have never let my circumstances stop me. I returned to work for about two months. Nevertheless, the strings dropped again, were they ever pulled, I am not sure; I spent eight days in hospital. I was out of work again. This time when I returned to work there was no position waiting for me. I was laid off the summer of 2009. I lost it all in one short year.
Remember I am a fighter. I returned to school in July 2009 to obtain a masters degree and I graduated in early 2011. The problem? I obtained a degree and I could not use without further education. I still do not say this out loud. During this time, I landed a part time job as an instructor for students seeking their AAS Human Resources degree. I make a third of the salary I previously did. I have performed this job since April 2010. It is hard. I forget – my memory is not that good. What you have reading are the highlights of my life.
Adult children and BABIES!! Not one baby; two and a one year old. My daughter was in a bad situation in Arizona. She was pregnant with twins, had a one year old daughter, had no car and was being evicted. The dad? Let’s say there is a lot to be desired. She packed as much as she could and moved in with us. Would anyone turn a loved one away in this situation? I could not. I was still drinking. As I write this, I now realize drinking was the one constant in my life. Sad. Her pregnancy had it challenges, but I think this is common. The first snowstorm of the year, December 30th, if you can believe that for Colorado, the babies had enough; my daughter was in labor. We called 911 since the roads were bad. Several hours later we welcomed two healthy baby girls! They will be one year old soon.
New Chapter. How many do we get? My daughter and 18 year old son live with us in our modest home. We clash, how we could not. I have been telling my doctor that I am depressed, damn strings. I can’t sleep and my body hurts so badly; especially when I lay down. Oh, I forgot to mention, no drinking! I quit over a year ago. Regrettably the depression and pain are driving my every moment. I think the puppet master is on vacation. There is no hope. I have been out of work too long. We are waiting for the repo man to get our car. We are barely holding on to the house. How can everything crash so fast and so hard? I am a fighter remember. My mind is full of hopelessness. I have a note that says “Please just let me go”. I am a fighter remember. I call the crisis line. They tell me to call 911. I don’t. I go to bed. Maybe it will be better tomorrow. Not a chance. The same message is repeating over and over in my head; “please let me go”. I tell my family I am driving to the hospital. I do not want anyone to come with me. I go alone.
Hospital

For my car, my rent, and my electric bill I owe around $1600. Please, I need help!

HI, FIRST OFF IM NOT GOING TO SPIN SOME SOB STORY ABOUT MY HORRIBLE LIFE (I HAVE A FABULOUS LIFE) IM NOT GOING TO SELF MY SELF OUT EITHER. SO, I REALLY NEED TO CLOSE THE FINANCIAL GAP BETWEEN MY COST OF ATTENDANCE AND MY FINANCIAL AID AWARD (4950.00 A YR) IM A JUNIOR AT OREGON STATE IN THE SCHOOL OF PUBLIC POLICY STUDYING POLITICAL SCIENCE WITH A MINOR IN PHILOSOPHY. BESIDES ATTENDING SCHOOL FULLTIME, I WORK PART TIME AS AN ANTIQUE BROKER AND PERSONAL ASSISTANT TO MY TWO SPOILED AND WELL DESERVED KIDS.

Please help a struggling student trying to take control of student loans and be in control of life once again. We all want the American dream of owning a home with a white picket fence in the suburbs, while raising a family comfortably. We are told throughout high school and in almost every aspect of society (i.e. television commercials and bill boards) that the only way to achieve this dream is to go to school and earn a degree. Well long story short, while trying to grab my piece of apple pie I acquired an enormous mountain of debt (to the tune of 34K). I was also forced to leave the college that I was attending after just one year because tuition became just too expensive! This debt has followed me like a dark cloud and has become a burden to my young life. Even though the thought of having such a large amount of debt at such a young age is stressful I have continued to keep trying. I have not let it stop me, but it has tremendously slowed my pace to achieve my dream. I’m currently enrolled in junior college but due to the fact I am solely dependent on financial aid my journey is a rough one. I have tried to pay on these loans but with little to no experience my job pool is more like a puddle. The money that I made was just not enough and I feel that I’m in deep trouble. So if you’re reading this please find it in your heart to help a student in need of a fighting chance against my battle with student loans. I’m not asking for much anything will help me win this fight.
Thank you-
Struggling Student

I have reached the end of my rope. Since I was 5 years old, I have wanted to teach. But now that I am out in the field, I am barely making ends meet and have defaulted on my student loans. I got as many scholarships to pay for it as I could, but still have about $25,000 to pay back. I taught high school and junior high for 3 years, barely making above minimum wage even though I had a salary. I had no benefits with my teaching either and a emergency visit to the hospital put me even more behind. I am now working 2 jobs trying to keep myself afloat with a 12 year old car that breaks down, loan payments, plus just regular expenses. I am going to try and get a 3rd part time job if possible, but I don't know if I will be able to. Any help is appreciated.

Hi, I'm a 17 year old American, that has been stuck in Australia, as of late july 2010. Before that, I was back home in California, playing football. This month, I'm suppose to be entering 12th grade, but I'm in Australia, and I very much would love to go home, and finish my last year of high school. Another thing is, football season has already started, and I really want to play football this season. My dream is to eventually go to a junior college and play football. For me to go back home, I need atleast 3,000 dollars Australian to get home. I've asked Dad, but he too is struggling. I can't believe Ive had to resort to this, but I am begging for help, please help me get home, I really am homesick, and above all I miss football, they only play rugby in Australia haha :) oh yeah, posistions I play : Left Tackle,L.Guard,Center,R.Guard,Right Tackle....I pretty much can play wherever they need me on the Offensive Line. I'm also 6'3'', 280lbs. Please, I'm asking for help, the next 2 weeks I want to go home, if you want my credentials, and legitamacy, email me american_propaganda_101@ymail.com. Please, look into heart, and help me out, I REALLY WANT TO GO HOME !!!! Thank you :)

I am a Junior in college with Dance Performance as my area of expertise. I also participate in the local Christian Service Fraternity. I wish to avoid sob stories because to be honest I feel that God has blessed me with an overall very good life. I am not one usually to ask for money or help but unfortunately, the predicament that has been thrust upon me is becoming to difficult for me to bear alone.
Even if I wished to transfer schools to one that is less expensive, as of right now, I can't due to holds on my account preventing my transcript and credits from transferring, thus resulting in my having to start college all over again as a freshmen.
The total amount past due is just over $12,000. Any amount, little or small is greatly appreciated.
Feel free to contact at my email, ryojimayakin@rocketmail.com, so as to ask me any questions about my said field of study, future plans and current activities. I feel that as this is your investment, as a proper business professional I should at least let you know about whom you are investing in (it is called "show business" after all).

I am currently a student at one of the top universities in the world. However, I have not been able to focus entirely on my education due to an on going court case against my father, who was sexually/physically abusive during my high school years. He was caught on tape, so the court case is still in progress. However, PTSD/Anxiety/Depression and substance abuse has taken its toll on me. I spent a my freshman year of college in a mental health facility. Now, I'm entering into my junior year with over one year of sobriety under my belt. I attend an Ivy League school on a full scholarship; however, medical and living expenses are overwhelming as an independent student. I'd appreciate any and all donations. Thank you, and God bless.

Sincerely,
Bree
