Dreams of something better

When I found out I got accepted to College in the US, I was utterly happy!
My whole freshman and sophomore year were incredible for my personal growth, through classes that challenged me and people that expanded my horizons. I found out I love photography, got my first jobs as an adult and learned so much about my main field of interest, biology. I get on the dean‘s list about every second term, and have found people that believe in me like I never knew possible.
My third year things started getting rough. To give some background about myself, I’m half Greek-half German. Greece is in major political and financial instability, and that is where my family’s support comes from, so our financial state started to deteriorate as I was halfway through College;
I got extra jobs and am supporting myself at school, contributing to tuition as much as I can. However, now it doesn’t seem like it will suffice anymore.

I have just a couple of weeks to come up with an overwhelming amount of money. I’ve always hesitated to ask for help, for anything, especially when it’s something financial, but I am starting to learn that it is ok to do that and that I do not have to go through hardships alone.
I believe God has a plan for me and trust that he will provide. I also believe that he can act through you to support my dream.
It is clear that I am not the only one in this struggle, as tuition in the US is a national issue afffecting scores of people. So why should I get help? Honestly, I believe a big problem such as this can be tackled in small increments... and I know that I would kick myself for not trying everything and fighting for my dream.
Sometimes it seems insurmountable, but then I Imagine scores of individuals each contributing $2; what a difference this small amount could make collectively! If you can spare a penny, kindly consider it. I would be grateful for any help. Please share this with your Friends, relatives and social circles!
