Hi, I'm Billie! After years without work, going back to school to get & finish my degree - I found my dream job at the University of Iowa - and I start May 5th. This job is my fresh start, my freedom, and my future in so many ways. I'm trying to raise just enough for travel expenses for the drive there, 1st month/security deposit for an apartment, utility startup, and basic necessities until the end of May when I get my 1st paycheck. Support is not only mine. It also means a stable new beginning for my family and my animals. This has been a long and rocky road to travel. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
