Need to eat while in school

Donation protected
Hi, I'm Ernest. Thanks to some very generous people outside of gofundme I was able to get my tuition and my housing covered for Barbering School. However I still need around 2k to cover food and incidentals.

My Story: A few years ago I got in to a car accident and ever since it's been getting more and more difficult to work in my usual fields of work. Due to physical limitations. I'm lucky if I can hold a job for two or three weeks at a time these days. I look fine on the outside but I struggle with limited mobility among other tasks. Barbering is one thing that as far as the physical tasks go I can achieve and successfully do.

Physical therapy, Chrio, Massage and Kinesiology only seem to give temporary relief. None of which I can afford on a regular basis. Those were all suggestions from my GP.

This has made it increasingly difficult for my wife as she is the main income in the house and her elderly parents are now living with us. I've been out of work for several months.

I've always thought I would be a great Barber but was never able to attend school for it.

My wife doesn't like the idea of me moving for school as we A: don't have the money and B: with her parents living with us we're not able to uproot everyone's life so I can go back school. She did however say that if I can raise the money to go on my own she will support it.

The hope/dream is that I go back to school become a barber and this will allow me to both work full time and be able to get any therapy I need. sadly at the moment any money i do make is going to bills as I don't have a lot of money coming in.

And the Big Question. What will your money be going towards? Food and incidentals while attending school. More importantly it will go towards making my dream come true so I can help support my family. After all it's hard to focus on an empty stomach.

Sadly I don't seem to meet the requirements for a student loan despite being unemployed and having no income. Otherwise I wouldn't be here.
Thank You.
Ernest
