I understand the world is in some hectic times right now, and as such I'm sorry.
To be completely real with everyone, I need help.
This month would have been the one where I graduate with my BFA in Digital Game Design from Long Island University - Post.
After roughly 4 years of trying to sort out finances, I'm unable to obtain by degree until I pay the minimum required by my school to file for graduation and am currently accumulating an honestly scary amount of interest which is very quickly creeping up on me.
I've been working 3 Jobs to try and save up enough finances but honestly it's hurting me physically.
Transparency:
- I make 600 a month doing contract work for a Part Time Marketing/Social Media Job
- I work 16-20 Hours a week making $11.25 an hour at my local GameStop
- I do Dog Walking/House sitting alongside my girlfriend and split the funds when needed
The total amount necessary to at the very least obtain my degree would be $3,697 USD.
My current overall Loan balance is sitting at $23,717.41 USD.
What your Donation would go towards
- Any and all funds would go strictly towards paying my outstanding debt to obtain my degree.
- In the event the goal is achieved, any further donations would go towards the loan balance.
- If even that number is succeeded, the funds will go towards a charity organization of the Community's choosing to better assist other struggling students in overcoming their financial difficulties.
When would the funds be needed by?
The sooner I am able to pay off the current outstanding balance of $3,697 USD, the sooner I will be able to file to obtain my degree and say I've officially graduated! :)

Staying Positive!
Over the past few years, I've been so grateful to build up my first ever platform via LinkedIn. I started posting after being disowned by my family at 19, and don't regret it all.
Even at my lowest, I still want to have hope that regardless of how things work out, it's going to be okay.
What matters most is that we keep trying and we don't let the roughness of this world beat us.
Thank you for reading this far!
