Help Pharaoh Pay for College

Hello, my name is Pharaoh Armstead. I am a soon-to-be graduate of high school, as well as a soon-to-be college student at the University of Nevada, Reno.  Although I'm excited to be able to attend a great school as a computer science and engineering major, the remaining cost, even after being promised a small scholarship from the university, is still a huge burden on my mother.


My mother, being a single mom, will carry the weight of struggling to pay two tuitions, along with normal living expenses, for both me and my sister.  Despite a fancy title, she is still just a government employee.  While away in school, I'll be unable help to mom, so I would like to relieve some of her financial burden.  Hopefully working, raising money, and applying for additional scholarships will help me to that end.


Being the lover of math that I am, I have discovered that if I can get 100 people to donate $100 (200 to donate $50, 670 to donate $15, or 3,183 to donate $3.14), I can raise $10,000 towards my $30,000+ cost of tuition and fees.  After all that, I would like to assure you all of two things.  First, no donation is too small or too large. :-)  Second, any money raised will go directly and exclusively to tuition, and/or room and board, at the university.


Without your help, I’m don’t think I’ll be able to afford more than six months of school.  Also, if you could help me before June 11, I’d be much obliged.  Thank you so much for taking the time to read this, and no matter if you donate to my cause or not, I wish you the best in all of your endeavors.
