Danny's 40th Birthday Bar Exam Fundraiser
Donation protected
Most folks know I haven't had it terribly easy recently. Both of my parents died in my last year of law school. This forced me to take a few extra semesters to graduate behind my classmates.
The original plan was to take a few months off to gather myself, work on the probate for my parents' estates, and then take the bar in July of 2020. The pandemic threw all of that in disarray.
With the sudden free time I had on my hands I decided to run for the County Soil and Water conservation district board of supervisors, and won! I finally got to a point where I was taking Uber deliveries to save up enough money to do the exam in July of 2021. Things were looking up. Then my car was suddenly hit in front of my house, leaving me unable to work for weeks, and throwing my already shaky finances into complete disarray.
Now I have only a few weeks left in order to be able to register for the exam, yet I'm nowhere near financially able to pay for it or the prep classes I'll need to take to get caught back up after nearly two years out of school.
I would imagine most people who know me know that I'm a very proud and stubborn person, so asking for help is not easy. I just want the chance to prove to myself and everybody else that I am worth it.
