Help Kaila Pay for University

Hi, my name is Kaila-Ashlye and I'm a Jamaican student at the University of Miami, finishing up my final year. At this time, I'm in need of outside financial help to cover the expenses of my final semester at the U.

I’m the first of three children and as my sister has now officially began her college career the financial strain on myself and my parents has become unbearable. We’ve only been in the US for the 5 years and I’m grateful to God for all the blessings he has sent our way thus far. Having the opportunity to attend a top university and studying electrical engineering is not an easy feat, but I am blessed to be in such a position. With attending a top private university comes the need for “top” funds to cover tuition, housing, transportation, food, books and coursework. Unfortunately for the current school year the university has further increased their tuition, housing and other fees by large amounts which only added to my already present financial burdens.

I’m a very active student on campus: I’m the president of the Jamaican Student Association on the University campus, as well as, a member the Caribbean Student Association, National Society of Black Engineers and Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated.

I don’t believe I have come this far to give up now and with your financial assistance I can successfully gain my degree without gaining more debt.

Whatever you are able to contribute is greatly appreciated, thank you!
