Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my posting. I am a mature student, aged 46 and the oldest on my course and have managed to support myself and my children through three years of my undergraduate degree course. It hasn't been easy, but I am confident I will be able to gain a good position within a company and ensure financial security for my family. I am looking to complete a distance learning masters course to enhance my qualifications, and to allow me to seek work at the same time, but the cost of postgraduate fees is in the region of £7,500. I have saved a quarter of the money for these fees from my limited income but need help raising the balance. If you would like to donate any amount of money, no matter how small, I would be very grateful. Thank you again for reading my posting and wishing you a pleasant, peaceful day.

I just completed my undergraduate degree. I am in serious need of School fee to pursue my masters degree which would cost approximately USD 8,000/=
Kindly help if you can. I will appreciate so much for any help. Thank you and God Bless you.

Dear everyone,

my name is Kate, recently I have been accepted to an optometry professional school to become an eye doctor - optometrist. The school starts in August 2012 and ends after 4 years. However the tuition fee alone costs $34000 per year and the living expense costs $20000 per year. In total, I will need to have about $55000 per year and hence $250000 over the 4 years of my study. Due to my parents' low income, the bank cannot borrow enough money for us, they can only borrow us $30000 in total. Yes, this amount is significantly less than what I would need. I have dreamed of becoming an optometrist since my high school years. During my entire undergraduate years, I worked part time at an eye clinic. I was able to gain a good understanding of the optometry field as well as what it takes to run a private clinic. I learned how to interact with staffs, patients and doctors most efficiently to ultimately provide the best patient care as possible. While most people have uncertain future, I am lucky to be sure that becoming an eye doctor is what I would like to do in the future. It is my passion, my goal, and my life. It is my ultimate goal to be an eye doctor who takes care of eyes of the poor and the underprivileged people, both in developed and developing countries. In order to achieve my goal, I must become the very best doctor by receiving the best education. If one has such strong aspiration to do a great thing for the underprivileged, how sad is it to see that person's dream being hindered due to his/her poverty? Please help me reach my dream so I can further help out others in my future. Please donate any amount you wish to help me raise $250000 for my optometry education. Thank you so much for reading my message and helping out. Thank you.

Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my story. I was released from the company I was employed with for 2 years. I have been looking and going to various career fairs in hopes of securing employment but with the current Job Market I haven’t had much success. In pursuing a degree I have been plagued with financial difficulties in paying for school. I have a significant amount of student loans from my time as an Undergraduate and Graduate Student. Know I find myself in a financial strain now that I am out of work in a tough economy. I have been doing odd jobs and Temp work to pay bills and eat but still need help especially with the student loan debt that runs over a hundred thousand dollars. I am unable to receive unemployment anymore and don’t know for how long I will have with my temporary job. I don’t know what else to do but ask for help. I have always held a job and worked hard in life so this is very difficult for me to ask for help in this manner as I never thought I would find myself in this situation. Please know that any contribution you make will be a blessing even if it is only a $1.00. Thank you for whatever assistance that you can provide.

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 NEED MONEY FOR SCHOOL! $7,500. After managing an office for 5 years, I got laid off. For over a year. Lost nearly everything and had to go bankrupt. Yes I did. So I finally get a job and I'm barely covering rent. Had to take my car off the road cause I can't afford the insurance. Taking the bus. I'm working a second job on the weekends and I got accepted into the online Histotechnology program at the Medical University of India. It's online and my employer is going to let me do the clinical stuff at work. And once I'm done I'll have a job! Finally a job that is over 20,000 a year.

Here is the catch. I have no tuition benefits. I'm maxed on my undergraduate federal loans and, like I said, I went bankrupt last year. No one will loan me the money.

I've won 2 scholarships from the New York State Histotechnolgical Society but it doesn't even cover my books.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me help myself!!!!

Hi, I am in my third year of undergraduate studies. This year I will be paying for college on my own, and have no means to do so. My mother is a single mom with three kids in college, so there is not much room for help from her. She has raised us to be independent and hard working, and I work hard on teaching kids swim lessons, while continuing my education through the summer. Family members are too scared to co-sign on an education loan, and I have exhausted my savings....so I am in dire need of extra help. Every little bit helps.

Thank you so much!

Hello:

I need your help. I have taken out over $200,000 in student loans to pay for my undergraduate and law degrees.

Since becoming an attorney, I have taken a position with a non-profit, and along with it, a low salary. I am a first generation American and I know the value of helping those less fortunate than I and this position allows me to do that. I really feel as though I am able to make a difference in people's lives, unfortunatley my job does not pay much and it is difficult for me to make my monthly payments.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I hope one day I can return the favor to others.

Thank you!

So managed to pay for my undergraduate education all on my own. I did not get in to medical school my first go around. So I entered into a Masters program to boost my resume (even though my MCAT and GPA are above that of my friends). Everyone I talk to questions me "how are you NOT in medical school right now?" It doesn't really bother me too much.

I live in a dingy graduate student dormitory, gas is nearly $4 a gallon here in New Orleans. I don't have enough money to go home to my family in South Carolina.

The only job I could find in this city is bussing tables..... I am a 22 year old highly intelligent man with a Masters Degree... and I am bussing tables.

I take orders from 18 year old waitresses.

But I don't mind, it helps me get by.... but barely. I live paycheck to paycheck and am scraping by.

I am incredibly driven and know that one day I will be a doctor taking care of people's problems and managing a practice. It is who I am. I am an extremely type A person...

I just tell myself that this struggling portion in my life is a character building phase--- this is when those who really want to succeed rise to the occasion, and those without the work ethic fall behind.

Come at me world.

Thank you for your help.

I'm a young, female, African American college graduate who strongly desires to attend law school, become an attorney and support diversity initiatives within the Legal industry on the West Coast. I have little resources, as I am caring for an ill family member. I have enormous student loan debt from my undergraduate institution, but I am in relentless pursuit of even higher education because I want to set an example for inner-city youth in Los Angeles. With a legal education, I aim to become successful so that I may give back as soon as I am able. There are tons of minorities who need legitimate examples of success, and I feel a calling to be this example for my youth peers. Please donate whatever you can afford, and I will be happy to further discuss my ambitions. Know that any dollar you contribute will enrich not only my own life, but the lives of other young hopefuls and revolutionize a struggling community. Thank you for your time!

I've never begged for help before. I've always worked 3 to 5 jobs to get through undergraduate school. Now I am in graduate school for professional writing and I am struggling every day. I have to keep my grades at an A level so I can get into a phd program. My dream is to attend Michigan State University's Non-Fiction program. I wake up every morning and think about getting into that program.

My name is Nay. It's a nickname. I'd like to send you a picture to show you who you are reading. I don't see a spot to post one.

I take care of my mother who has fibromyalgia (sp?), glaucoma, post traumatic disorder, and a personality disorder. I have 5 sisters but it seems that I am the only one with enough love and patience to take care of her.

When I first came to live with her, my mom stayed on her couch and cried all day. She spends 2 hours a day praying to God. She used to pray that she died in her sleep. She was severely abused by her mother and father and most of everyone. Mental illness is so hard for people to understand. She was afraid to leave the house because so many people have hurt her. Mom had not opened a book, learned to use the computer for over 30 yrs.

But now, I have her enrolled in college, reading 2 books at a time and feeling better than ever.


Now about me: I grew up in a very bad neighborhood. Only 1 person that I've grown up with went to college and has a successful career. I always promised myself that I would go all the way. I'll never stop working to be a better person.

I work as a nanny part-time. I am in grad school full-time.
It is really hard to make money. I live in a very sad state with unemployment rates over 11%.

I've overcame abuse, internal brain damage, beating the odds, and much more. I just need some help now.

I could use money for school, money to live on, money to help pay the bills, a car (since I live an hour from my university and my car is on its last legs), and friends. I don't like to complain. I like to tell success stories but this money thing is taking over everything positive in my life.

I just need a lift.

I need help.

I hope a really good person will read this and consider helping me in whatever way they can.

Even a good letter to MSU on my behalf would be appreciated. I have a 3.4 GPA but I need to raise it to 3.7 or 3.8.

In exchange I can offer a life long friendship. I am an extremely loyal person.

One day I will buy a house for me and my mom.
And then maybe I can focus on maybe having a family or rescuing animals.

I hope people do not think I am a bad person for looking for help this way. I have always been self sufficient, but now it is really difficult.

Please please write me a letter. Send me whatever you can and know in your heart that I will try to use it to make a world a better place (after I graduate).

Love and Light, XXOO

Nay

I'm 20 years old and a junior in college currently. I'm getting a biology major, botany certificate, and chemistry minor and also hope to go on to graduate school. I really want to finish and get an undergraduate degree but I have a hard time paying rent and groceries. I do childcare a couple evenings here and there, but I find I don't have time to work outside of school this year (taking upper division courses like organic chemistry take up ALL my time). I'm very hard-working and get good grades (mostly As and some Bs). Any assistance, advice, etc would be greatly appreciated. Any monetary assistance would be spent on either tuition, textbooks, rent, or groceries; it would also be rewarded with some thank you gift, dependent on your taste.

I was three years old when I began my educational career. My mother had petitioned for my acceptance into kindergarten because my birthday fell a week after the cut off date. The school accepted me though they were adamant because I was believed to be too young for kindergarten. I was sent home after my first week of school. "Mrs. Wilson, Jewel will not be able to continue kindergarten unless she is properly potty trained." My mother called me into her room. "Jewel, your teacher said you can't go back to school until you go to the potty." I never missed a day of class unless it was out of my control after that conversation.

My name is Jewel Smith and I am nineteen years old. I became one of five children after my mother's marriage. Now, I am the oldest of three in our household and my mother is a single parent. When asked, "What is your favorite activity?” most children would respond with a sport, videogames, or TV show. My passion is learning. I enjoy all subjects from sciences to literary works.

My mother strives to give only the best of education for my siblings and me. She made it very clear that we had to work as a team in achieving this goal. I attended a private catholic all girl high school through scholarship and financial assistance. I knew my mother couldn't afford tuition for my siblings and me. During my high school career, I excelled in AP/honors courses, maintained a high GPA, and participated in numerous organizations. Many people in my neighborhood believed I wouldn't "survive" in my high school setting because for the first time I did not attend a school with students who were of my racial or economic class. However, I was able to push through adversity even when it threatened to take my mother's life away during my junior year of high school. My mother's lung collapsed and some doctors stated she almost didn't make it. During my high school career, I learned people could cultivate their differences and come together as one entity regardless of race, class, or gender. I was able to maintain over a 3.5 GPA during my senior year and built a strong support system with faculty, friends, mentors, and family members.

I currently attend DePauw University in Greencastle, IN as an incoming junior. I have a declared major in English Writing with a possible second major in Spanish. I maintain a "B" average. I was granted a large package with my school that covers my tuition and some room and board. Unfortunately, the left over balance is still too much for my mother and I to afford. I was informed that I must pay the left over balance of $6,700 as well as my incoming fall balance of $4,000 in order to continue my education at this institution.

I believe that everyone has a special gift that helps the world become a better place. At five years old I knew I wanted to serve others as much as I can. My ultimate goal is to give back to my home community as well as those who are less fortunate in the world through education. It is through this letter that I ask for your help. I want to continue my educational career through undergraduate and graduate studies. I ask that you partner with me so that I am able to make my dream a part of reality. Thank you in advance.
