Hello! Frank Ortegon-Ramirez, here. I am presently trying to help my daughter raise the necessary funds for her to continue her college education and career. She's in her second year of school at the Collegium Sanctorum Angelorum, relocating to MO this upcoming year. This is a private Catholic school that does not accept federal funding.

She needs to raise $11,500 by the deadline they gave her, which is December 31, 2024. She presently has over $5,000 between her and her sister that is willing to contribute as well. I earn a decent income as a bus driver for our city of residence, but with four other children to manage and take care of and my wife's medical bills from a stroke last year, we just simply can't afford to pay this off as soon as the school is expecting us to.

It's not like us (my wife and I) to ask for money; we just weren't raised that way, but this situation is not just dire, but near and dear to my daughter's heart. She's been working 2 jobs, including an overnight job with a local cheese packager here in Wisconsin. Needless to say, 2 jobs, next to no sleep, trying to be as helpful to her family as possible, all while being a full time student has proved to be a challenge, to say the least. However, If she doesn't make the deadline, they won't let her register for the Spring semester.

Maintaining her high level of academics and grades have been extremely difficult so we would like her to scale back in her work schedule, therefore, a second goal of this fundraiser, along with our long time family prayers, is that once we're caught up, she can go on personal leave from her two positions of employment and just focus on her academics.

Thank you, tremendously, from the bottom of our hearts for taking the time to read this. With all the heart ache going on in the Wausau area as of late, your prayers and consideration in this regard mean the world to our family.

May God bless you and your families abundantly.
