In Need of a New Laptop... SOS

I'm a college sophomore studying Business at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Having online access at all times is a very crucial part of my education due to various different assignments, and the online class that I am taking. Unfortunately, my roommate has a cat (I don't even like cats) and the cat knocked over some iced tea that spilled all over my laptop. It seemed like it was going to be okay, but within two hours after this encounter, it totally fried and no longer works. I am already working and a full time student, all of my pay checks go towards paying my monthly dues and I can not afford a new laptop on my own. Any donation would be highly appreciated... thank you in advance.
