Help me go to culinary school!

Hi everyone,
My name is Jasmine. I'm a 22 year old mother of two beautiful little girls. I was blessed with my oldest daughter 5 years ago and had my youngest baby 1 year ago.
It hasn’t always been easy being a young mother. When I had my oldest daughter, Emma, I was a single mom. It was a very hard time and I made sure to work hard to be able to adequately take care of her and give her a wonderful life. I have always wanted to go to culinary school but because I was a single mother, I couldn’t manage the schedule. I didn’t make very much and what I did make went to supporting my baby girl, so I put that dream aside.
On April 2013, I have my second daughter. I decided that I couldn’t wait any longer and I had to get a career started. I had to better the lives of my two little beauties. However, due to my boyfriend’s work schedule, culinary school just was not in the cards for me, again.
Recently, my boyfriend and I sat down and discussed what we wanted for our future. We wanted to better our lives, we work very hard and we want to have something to show for it. We discussed my passion for baking/cake decorating, and I spoke of how I want to go to culinary school and one day open up a bakery of my own. That’s when we decided that I would do it. His work schedule was now manageable and we knew that I couldn’t postpone this much longer.
Unfortunately, financial aid just barely covers tuition for culinary school. I was told that I would have to take out a private loan to cover the cost, but since I don’t have any credit that would be next to impossible.
Normally, someone of my age would go to his/her parents and ask them to co-sign on a loan for their education. I do not have that option. I’ve never had much of a relationship with my mother and my grandmother, the one who did it all for me, passed away.
This is why I have started my campaign. I am trying to raise money to cover the tuition for culinary school. Please help me make my dream come true. Everyone should love what they do for a living; I can’t let this be what holds me back.
I can’t accept any limitations.
I will be forever grateful for any help that I could get.
Thank you
