My friend Chris is in need of help to pay for school this semester.

“It’s been over and year and half now since my parents have not been supporting me. I was able to pay for all of first year despite my situation with them, from scholarships and my own money. 2nd semester year I was able pay for it as well then came along spring I had to pull a 7k loan with high interest from the school. From being in that, I had to work really hard to start to pay it off and of course I have 1250 in bills to pay for every month. So I had to cut cost in eating and going out which is okay. And now I am back into this semester. I worked over 70+ hours each week being able to pay barely enough but not enough to where if I get sick one week I won’t be able to afford my bills. And since I am doing 18 credit hours in Civil Engineering I need to be able to focus and work at least 30 hours for next year. As of now, I need financial help so I can achieve my goal of being a first generation college student and graduate in fall of 2026”
