Hey, I'm Giovanni De Lanoy, and I'm in dire straits. I've now spent 5 semesters (2 1/2 years) as a student at Florida Southern College, all self-funded through my own hard work and various scholarships. Now, a week out from my first payment for this next semester, I'm short of funds. I've tried working additional shifts and additional jobs but I've been denied each time.

I just want to go back to school. I want a shot at a brighter future, and that path is locked behind a degree, a degree I won't get if I can't return to college.

Anything and everything helps.
