Help a Single Mom Afford Her Classes
Donation protected
Hello good people, I am here one more time asking for help. I will add pictures to prove my payment plan. However, let me explain why I need this money.
Last semester, spring 2025, I had a professor who wouldn’t adjust her plans to help accommodate my issues. I had an old laptop, which I learned wasn’t getting updates. Because my laptop wasn’t getting new updates, I couldn't download test protection as required for the class. I had access to four different computer labs that had public computers. But they didn’t have a camera, mic or that stuff.
I was communicating with IT, professor, advisor and anyone else I could think of to help me resolve the issue and get assignments done. I couldn’t access half the work for almost 5 weeks. Then a coworker overheard my conversation with my advisor and lent me her laptop to get assignments done. I went to public places that had internet and worked like crazy to study and get assignments in before the professor marked them as zero. But by then, the damage was done. Half my grades were zero. By the time the semester was over, my final grade was a high D.
Because of the issues my SAP percentage went below the line. I can’t get financial aid until I bring my grade back up. My advisor has me listed for two easy classes. A different coworker told me about a place to get a new laptop with little cost. So doing assignments for this fall semester should be easy without hassle.
Now my worry is paying for the semester. I work for a hotel, I make decent money, but not enough to pay all my bills and this school one too. Please kind people, help me pay for my classes.I’m a single mom living in section 8 housing. I work full time at a hotel. I work hard to pay most of my bills. There are times I must pick and choose which bill gets paid and which I must postpone. However, we are managing. I am applying for government, state and native assistance. It is a long process, and it takes time to get word if I was approved or not.
