Dulce's last semester

Donation protected

Hello all, 
Sisters and friends, my name is Dulce Garcia I am currently an undegrad student at Northeastern Illinois Univerity. I am a DACAmented student, I currently find myself in a difficult and very stressful (for me) situation. Being undocumented and attending college has had its ups and downs but after 8 years I am so close to the finish line. I have been VERY fortunate to have had help financing my education through working (with the help of DACA) and with family help. However, this time my family is not able to help due to an unforseen medical event. My mom who is in Mexico and whom I haven't seen in 11 years needed a brain procedure and my sister had to go see her to be there at the doctor with her and of course that's where the money went, along with other expenses. 
As I head into my LAST (finally!!) semester I find myself in this situation, and as much as I hate to do this, I'd hate myself even more by not asking for help. In order to be able to register for my last semester I have to finish paying off my summer semester and at least a third of my fall semester which puts me short $2,415. I tried asking for an extesion at school but if I do not make the payment by Monday January 23rd I will not be able to graduate in May, and because of how classes are offered at Neiu I would have to wait until next spring semester to graduate.

I am the current chapter president at Gamma Gamma, I would graduate with a Bachelor's in Spanish and a double minor in Linguistics and TESOL (Teaching English as a Second Language. I am planning on going into Student Affairs afterwards and eventually obtain a Doctorate's Degree. It is very ambitious of me, but I know I will get there! 

If you  find yourself able to donate I would ask to please please please consider helping me out. I would appreciate it so very much. As I mentioned before I hate to do this but I have exhausted all other options.

Thank you SO MUCH for your help and thank you for taking the time to read this.
