Hello. I am a first-generation college student, and I’m just one semester away from graduating as a 5th-year senior. The only thing standing between me and my degree is the cost of tuition. My college raises tuition by 3% every year, and the increase has made it harder and harder for me to keep up. Now I’m facing a strict deadline to pay my bill or I won’t be able to register for my final classes.

I’ve explored every option, from private loans to parent PLUS loans, but my family simply doesn’t have the resources to help. I am at the point to where I look to donate plasma or apply to be an Egg Donor, I just refuse to put any more financial strain on my parents, who are already struggling. If I can’t raise the full amount, I may have to withdraw and use the funds to pay for a small apartment in Camp Hill, with the hope of saving up and returning to finish my degree next Fall.

Your support would mean the world to me. Any amount helps, and every donation brings me closer to reaching the finish line and becoming the first in my family to graduate college. Thank you for believing in me and helping me achieve my dream.
