Help California Student

Update!!!!!!
Thank you to everyone who helped support me this is a receipt of a payment I made to school for tuition. With the money collected here and outside this website I was able to make a payment. I still have a second payment I need to make but at least they allowed me to keep my classes and finish out the rest of the semester till i can make the second payment. Thank you again to everyone who helped support me through these tough times.




Im Begging anyone to please help me, this is my last resort and I'm desperate. PLEASE Donate a dollar , two or maybe more. Whatever you feel comfortable with because even the smallest amount will go a long way and be much appreciated.

My name is Leah, I'm a full time student at California State University. My major is Business with a core in Accounting. My goal is to one day study law and be a criminal defense attorney but in order for me to be accepted into law school I  must get a bachelors degree.  
I recently completed my associated degree at Orange Coast College but like many of us have come to realized the  standard in the job market has increase so this degree is equivalent to only a high school degree. My goal may seem like many years away but this does not deter me from completing my goal. I chose the major accounting because I love finding balance, am very analytical and math is one of my strongest subjects, not to mention my mother is also an accountant. But unlike her my true passion is law, I love accounting too but i plan on using the degree i earn in accounting to one day fine a steady accounting job while i work on my law degree. I am making some great progress towards my life goal. Currently It is my second semester at CSUDH but unfortunately I can no longer financially pay for school anymore.

Last semester some legal issues which I had resolved in 2012 were brought back into my life and caused chaos . I lost my home, steady transportation, life savings, my freedom is threatened, my health has been affected, I can barely sleep, eat or focus and my schooling has taken the hardest hit. Now I can not pay for my tuition, books or even rent so I can live by my campus. Any money that I had worked for or saved went to the courts to pay some of it off and the rest I used for living costs. If I can prevent myself from having to sleep on the streets every night I have to figure out places for me to sleep, how to get there, hope I have money to eat after that and attempt to do my class work. The stress has negatively affected my health. I get sick all the time, I've lost 15 pounds(original weight 120) and find it very hard for me to focus in class or my studies because I'm so upset, terrified and worried about how I'm going to make it through the day and tomorrow. I have worked so hard to put my past behind me, remove myself from negative influences, graduate from a community college, transfer from there into CSUDH and currently on my classes. That it breaks my heart to know that it can all be taken away just because I don't have the money to pay all these fees off .

I had a job for quite some time and was able to stay afloat for a little while but when my hours got cut and it became more difficult to commute there and back to school without a car or steady risen soon that was lost too. My life is no longer enjoyable instead it's a struggle to get by everyday. I envy people who are my age and don't have to worry about the things I do. I wish I could have a car that I could drive around and even sleep in becaus it would make it easier on me then how I've been getting around these past few years on a skateboard or public transportation. Which takes a minimum of 3 hours to and from school if I want to have a place to sleep or eat everyday and if I miss one of the busses or trains I'm stranded at that terminal.

I attempted to get loans to try to get some form of help but was denied because I do not have a consigner,
Do not have any assets (ex. Car, house, etc to lean on) & being a full time student isn't efficient enough to fill their requirements. I'm all alone in this battle.

I am now at a point where if I don't pay off these fees I am going to find myself kicked out of college, on the streets and possibly in a jail cell. I feel I'm in to deep of a hole to pull myself out from. These problems have piled up on me and the sad part is that it all comes down to money.

These issues are getting worse and worse . I continue to fight for my freedom and education but the fight has become harder and harder on me .

I want nothing more in this world then to put the dark parts of my life behind me, continue to do good by societies standards, and graduate so that one day I can help someone who may be in my shoes today. Yet by the way things are going I think I may lose everything I've worked so hard for before I can do so. I do not want this to even be an option but if I can't pay these fees off. I'm terrified as to what the outcome may be.

Im Begging anyone to please help me, this is my last resort and I'm desperate. PLEASE Donate a dollar , two or maybe more. Whatever you feel comfortable with because even the smallest amount will go a long way and be much appreciated.

I've tried to get help from my family, banks/ loan companies  and even the school but many of them are struggling just like me or the process time is going to exceed the cut off date, so I fear help may come to late. I'm locked into my classes for this semester and if I don't complete them I will be kicked out of CSUDH. I need to pay fees off by the 30th of this month. I have spoken with the courts and school attempting to get extensions but to no avail. I have also found places to live close to the campus but I can't move forward without any finances. I don't want to lose hope and I pray that someone or something may help me before its to late but as the days go by my faith gets tested more and more.

So I'm begging Please Please!!! Help me!!!

God bless everyone and may God protect you and all your loved ones.
