Hi everyone! My name is Adrian and I'm a 20 year old black queer artist currently living in Goodlettsville, TN.  I attended Parsons at The New School in 2018 til Spring semester 2019 when I had to leave due to financial and mental health struggles. I used a private loan company and took out about $50,000 just to attend. Due to covid I have since moved back home, and have had to make student loan payments of almost $700 dollars a month. The loan company is not giving me any leniency considering the pandemic, and I'm unable to transfer to a local college and defer those payments due to TNS holding my transcripts because of money they claim I still owe, so I am kind've stuck and have been stuck since about April of last year. My grandmother is the cosigner on my loan and although I am trying my best working 50 hour weeks to make payments on time and also be able to support myself and family, I do not want my inability to pay to have any negative results for her. However, they are cutting my hours at work down to about 20 hours a week, and I am extremely stressed and worried that I won't be able to make the payments. 

I recognize that this is an incredible amount of money to try and raise, but I have no other choice. This was a last resort. Literally anything you can do whether it be money donated, a share or repost, or just words of encouragement I will GREATLY appreciate it.
