Please Help Me Complete my Education
Donation protected
Hello, my name is Daniel, and I am a current student at Fresno UEI pursuing a career as a Pharmacy Technician. I come from a disadvantaged background, raised by a divorced and economically challenged Hispanic family. I face significant financial difficulties in completing my education.
Despite maintaining a strong 4.0 GPA in college, I have encountered hurdles when it comes to securing scholarships. Unfortunately, I lack an SAT score and my high school performance in my senior year of 2021 was affected by the challenges brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic. I was unable to take the SAT in California during that time, resulting in the loss of a full-ride scholarship opportunity to study Environmental Science. This setback had a demoralizing effect on my high school journey and ultimately led me to my current predicament.
In order to attend UEI, I had to take out over $10,000 in student loans, acquire $2,600 in personal loans, and accumulate $3,500 in credit card debt. I am now burdened with a monthly obligation of $330, and despite my earnest efforts to secure employment, I have been unable to find a job. To make ends meet, I have resorted to selling personal belongings and donating plasma at a center that compensates donors. Regrettably, I couldn't meet my financial commitments last month, causing my credit card minimum payment to increase and incurring late fees from the school.
I've explored every available option, but I am still struggling to cover my educational expenses. I am determined to complete my schooling, and it is disheartening to think that I might not be able to achieve this goal due to financial constraints. My capabilities are not the issue; it's the financial burden that is causing my concern. My primary goal is to raise enough funds to clear my credit card and personal loan debts so I can successfully complete my education. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Please help me.
