Fundraising for Arri's College Tuition Balance

My name is Ronda, and I am the mother of this beautiful and bright future college freshman. Those who know me, may be shocked to see this request; trust, I am shocked to have to create it. However, if you know me, you know that for my children, I leave no stone unturned. We have found ourselves short funds to allow Arianna to be financially enrolled at her college. We applied for loans, scholarships, and grants, yet we are still short. As a parent, I thought I had done everything to ensure that Arianna would be financially solid for college. She did her part too. Arianna graduated with not one, not two, but THREE diplomas from her high school, Baltimore City College. Her GPA as an IB student is 4.8, and she has a grocery list of community services (including working with the present Mayor and States Attorney and being a founder of a Baltimore City youth project that was awarded $13,000). Yet, here we are. I am exploring and exhausting all options. I am determined that she will be moving into her dorm in 3 weeks and starting school at the end of August. I am asking that you sow a seed of whatever you can to get us closer to our goal. This request is being made by a mother who is not too proud to ask for help to benefit her child. I thank you in advance and especially thank those who have been contributing.
