Help Mike Syfritt Finish His Degree
Donation protected
Hi,
Most of you may already know me. Mike Syfritt, Madpropps, D-Syfer-It, HTBToys. I wear a lot of hats.
If you are friends or even just acquaintances with me, then you know I'm a very creative individual. Depending on how long you've known me, you may have had me do custom graphics for your mini Cooper or make you a custom prop for your costume for comic conventions or even custom toys and action figures. Recently you may have seen me DJing some of your favorite music at the clubs or just see met me through the goth community.
What you may not know about me is that I'm a full-time student at A.S.U. I have been working on a bachelors degree for the last six years while doing all of the other creative things that I do and also living on campus for A.S.U through the family housing program.
As of this semester, my federal student aid funding has apparently ran its course. Little did I know when I signed up for school that there was a cap on federal funding for a bachelors program. I have two semesters left to graduate, and this has left me with a conundrum.
My place of stay in family housing is dependent on being at least a part-time student. Also, the amount that I have to pay for this place comes out of my tuition every semester. Up until this semester my family housing payments along with all of my expenses for school have come out of my tuition and my federal student aid.
Now that my federal funding has run out, I am having to pay for my last semester and the last four semesters of Housing myself.
going to school full-time trying to make as much money as I can through Lyft and my side businesses plus starting a new startup has left me very little time and very little money. With Lyft being my main source of income and only being able to work part time it barely covers my normal expenses like utilities, my car payment, insurance food, etc..
I have tried to go through third-party financing to get the rest of what I need for these last two semesters and to cover that $6000 in my Student account, but my credit is not allowing for that to happen without a cosigner.
So now my account for registering for spring is on hold until I can pay at least half of my student account.
I have roughly a month left to come up with $4000 to pay down my student account so I can register for spring classes. If I can't register for spring classes then I can't live on campus and will be forced to move.
Not only do I not have anything saved up to be able to move but I also can't afford to live anywhere.
I'm asking all my friends to help in any amount they can. I know life is tough for all of us right now but if you have the means to help with even the smallest amount then I assure you. It will come back to you in one way or another. I am a strong believer that what comes around goes around.
I have helped so many of you with what ever I could so I ask for you to return the favor and help me who never asks for help.
If you can't help monetarily then please help by sharing this with your friends.
I love you all and I'm so incredibly grateful for each and every one of you!
