Flood Recovery. Help me continue studying

Donation protected
My name is Diana, and I have been living in this country for seven years and have worked very hard to get ahead. I am independent and support myself. Last year I lived in a basement, and in September, I lost everything because of Hurricane Ida. I didn't expect that, and sometimes I think I'm alive by a miracle since everything happened at dawn. I realized the basement was flooding when I woke up at 4 am to go to the bathroom. The water covered my feet and came out everywhere, and all I thought about was getting out of the place. Firefighters rescued me as the area where I lived was flooded.
I lost everything in flood. I could not recover any goods, electronic equipment, or furniture since the only thing I went out with that day was the clothes I was wearing. One is never prepared for this type of situation. I lived with a relative for five months until I saved to move to another apartment. I thought that everything would start to improve, and I worked very hard for that. When I moved, I had to go to the hospital as an emergency because part of my face was paralyzed. I don't have health insurance, so I've had to pay many medical bills, and I'm still paying. My face is better, and I have regained mobility. I try to keep a positive mind since many negative events have happened to me. I can add that when we moved, my boyfriend broke his ankle and had surgery so that he couldn't work for four months. My story is even longer, but I tried to summarize it. I explain all this so that you understand why I ask for help. I am young, strong, and eager to get ahead. I just need a little help since I have been going through difficult times.
I'm not doing well financially, and I want to continue studying. I am in college and don't have enough income to cover the costs of my semesters, I am a good student, and all my grades are A's. I would appreciate any help you can give me.
