Hi everyone, I’m sharing this with humility and deep appreciation for anyone willing to read. I’m in my final semester of college and am facing a tuition balance that must be paid by the 20th in order to enroll. I’m a single mother and the sole provider for my household, supporting my son and my parents. I’ve exhausted all available school options—payment plans are closed, my residency appeal was denied, I don’t qualify for federal student loans, and I missed NYS TAP eligibility this semester due to being enrolled at 10.5 credits instead of the required 12. Unfortunately, securing private loans is not an option for me either, as my credit has been impacted by years of prioritizing my family’s care and basic needs.

I’m not asking for anything beyond the opportunity to complete my degree and continue providing stability and support for my family. I’ve started a GoFundMe and would be incredibly grateful for any contribution or even for sharing this with others. Thank you so much for your time, kindness, and understanding.
