Help John Finish School

Donation protected
My friend John, who went by Johann in college, is a very talented artist. We went to college before Photoshop, before Adobe and before the Internet was really a thing. After college he went to work for a sign company and he gave them many good years of service. But the company had a downturn along with the rest of the economy, and John found himself on the job market again. He worked very hard trying to get another job using his talent but he found that he had to learn new skills to keep up with today's graphic design work world. 

John took jobs as he could find them but its not easy when you need new skills. But that didn't stop him. He found a program to teach him the new skills he needs to become a modern designer. He took the last of his monies, and some major student loans and headed back to school. John will complete his program in December and be prepared to become a front-end web designer with the added bonus of back end coding skills when its all over.

He has been slowly working through his savings, and honestly, he's been living a very frugal life. 

But its not enough. John is almost through his entire retirement savings, and he knows he will come up short. Barring an unforseen problem, he is going to be just about $4000 short. He has a job on campus which covers part of his expenses, but again, not enough.

If you would like to see what John has been doing in school, head over to his Behance portfolio site.  He is preparing for the next step in his life.

Will you please help me get John past this last hurdle and into his new life? Will you help him eat while he finishes school? Anything helps.
