My name is Hope, but many people also know me as Aurora. I am reaching out because I am facing a difficult moment on my journey to finish my college degree. Due to recent changes in financial aid policies, my FAFSA no longer covers my tuition, and I now owe a balance that I cannot pay. Because of this, my school account is on hold, and I am unable to enroll for the upcoming semester. I have worked so hard to get to this point and have only five classes left to complete my degree.

 As a stay-at-home mom, I do not have an income of my own. Every dollar my family receives goes toward bills and basic needs, and we are living paycheck to paycheck. I have already taken out loans and am not eligible for additional grants, so I am left with very few options. The thought of being so close to graduation but unable to finish is heartbreaking.

 Your support would help me pay off my past due tuition and part of this semester, giving me the chance to re-enroll and continue my education. This would bring me one step closer to graduating and starting work in the next few years. It would mean so much to me and my family to have your help, as having my degree would allow me to provide a better life for my daughter and our home. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to anyone who considers donating or sharing my story.
