Bipolar guy Needs Funding in YYC

This is year 2 of 2 years of schooling at SAIT. I was fortunate enough to get funding from friends family and strangers whos kind words and donation made them like family online. The reason I have to ask for help is because I exhausted my Student loans with a school that took off with our portfolios and money in 2001 here in Calgary, that happened and also being diagnosed as bipolar was crushing and i couldnt handle it and wanted to end it all. They say when it rains it pours, and believe me it did! i was in and out of hospitals with cutting, overdosing on prescriptions just not wanting to be here. Well  it wasn't meant to be and i found myself drawn back to my art which was my passion since i was a kid. Wel I finished my first year at SAIT taking New Media Production and Design and need help for my second. Once I'm done i will be paying it forward. I feel now like i have purpose in my life and once I can start working in a year, i will definitely be donating money to other people in my situation where mental health disease is looked as fake or not important. So again Thanks.

 Below is my original post.






It's finally ok to say that you are bi-polar. I was a Graphic Designer before getting hit hard with this horrible disease. Student loan interest piled up and now years later, after managing with this with meds/Doctors, I want to go back to school and update my skills but cannot get another student loan. My course is 2 years (New Media Production & Design) at SAIT here in Calgary. I'll do anything I can to raise money. I'm looking for work too, but the economy is so crap right now and i'm still on the mend from breaking my leg before xmas.

Any donation no matter how small is welcomed and gratefully appreciated. I'm also open to any positive messages.

cheers.
