Hi, my name is Aileen, and I’m asking for help so I can continue my college education.

Recently, my family made the decision to completely cut me off financially. I’ve done everything I can on my end applied for loans, financial aid, and scholarships but my loans can only cover part of my tuition. I’m now facing a gap that I can’t afford on my own.

If I’m unable to raise the remaining funds, I will be forced to leave school, move to Houston, and walk away from my life in San Marcos. including my education, my church, and the community I’ve built here. This is not a decision I want to make, but one that finances may force on me.

College is incredibly important to me, and I’ve worked hard to stay enrolled despite difficult circumstances. I’m not asking lightly. any amount, shares, or prayers would mean the world to me and help me stay in school and continue pursuing my future.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for supporting me in any way you can. I’m deeply grateful for every bit of help and kindness.
