Hi there!
For those of who who don't already know, my name is Khadijat Yussuff, and I'm (supposed to be) a sophomore at Carnegie Mellon University studying Cognitive Science. Recently, my mom and I fell on some hard times, and our inability to pay the outstanding fee for Fall 2013 made it impossible to continue my education until Spring 2015, despite scholarships and taking out loans.
Growing up in the Bronx, I've been blessed to have a hardworking mother who taught me to always try my hardest, and I was lucky enough to go to school free of charge so that I had hope to succeed, unlike many other kids in my neighborhood. I do realize that sometimes, we all need to ask for a little help, and I've had really supportive friends who I owe a lot to.
In the past 3 months, I've been trying my absolute hardest to not only take care of myself (rent, bills, the usual) but to also take care of my mother in NYC, who is recovering from a stroke and in severe need of medical help as well. Unfortunately, the 2 jobs I have only cover so much, and I'm doing my best to get some extra money for the both of us while trying to create items for an online store I hope to open at the end of 2014 that I hope will generate a small but steady revenue.
With this page, I'm hoping that you can find it in your heart to give anything you can, no matter how small, to help me complete my education at Carnegie Mellon, and to take care of my mother.
Your generosity is much appreciated!
♥, Khadijat
