Hi, I'm Ken Fales. I'm halfway through with my Master's degree, and I need a little help. I've covered costs so far through grants, loans, scholarships, and savings. This last term, I wasn't able to cover all of my tuition, and if I don't pay it, I can't continue in the Spring semester, which starts January 15th. If I can raise $5,000 by January 8th, my birthday, I can pay last semester's tuition and register for Spring semester.

My undergrad GPA was 4.0, and my grad GPA is 3.925. I'm a serious student, studying to teach English at the University level. I taught this past semester as a TA, and I learned from that experience that I can make a positive difference in the lives of my students.

I am also the Spiritual Leader of Center For Spiritual Living in Bakersfield. It doesn't pay a great deal in money, but it is the work I've been called to, and it's a rewarding service for myself, my family, and my spiritual community.

While it feels odd to ask for help in this way, it also feels like I'm opening a channel to experience the Abundance and Love of the universe. If you can be a part of that, whether it's by giving or sharing this, I am grateful.
