Summer Living Expenses

Donation protected

For the past few years now, I've been working hard to get through college so I can begin my career as a high school English teacher. I've worked a few jobs throughout, often working crazy hours in order to make ends meet. With the help of VA Education Benefits, I was able to stay afloat, even after having lost my job in October.

Unfortunately, that's changed. The summer semester is shorter and I had to take fewer credits, resulting in less money, and no VA benefits. I've done the best I can to save and conserve, but after I make rent tomorrow, I will have $75 to live on until September 1st, which is when my VA Education benefits start up again.  I've tried applying for additional loans and grants from the college with no luck, and unemployment has also denied my claim.

I'm asking for some help in order to meet my living expenses until my VA Benefits start up again. What I'm asking for is a total of two months worth of expenses - July and August. I wouldn't be asking for this if I wasn't desperate.

Thank you for reading this and taking time out of your day, and double thanks if you can spare anything at all to help me out. Your generosity in my time of need is appreciated, and I will graciously pay it forward when comes a time that I am able.

Love,Julia
