Independence Day - College Fund

My name is Abby Phillips and I am now faced with the magnanimous, weighty task of paying for my college tuition by myself. I'm not going to go into details but i had to leave my mother because she was abusive both mentally and physically. I've been shunted from friend to friend, but they're all my age and can't help me very much. Recently, I was able to file for a restraining order against my mother but now I have to find a way to support myself through life and school starting with nothing. Please help me pay for school and replenish some of my belongings that she is now holding for ransom. My mother says that my future is in ruins; that I'm destined to be reduced to the alleyways of Rochester and be impoverished and pregnant. I want to prove to her that I don't need her to succeed. Any help would be most appreciated and welcome.
