Help Nelson cross the Finish line

The purpose of this ask is to assist Nelson with the financial burden of his final semester.

The federal government has a law that states that students are only allowed to receive a certain allocation of federal loan funding to go to school. As such, Nelson has run out of funding to finish this last semester. The current total bill for this semester is $4200 that Nelson will need in order to graduate. He will be finishing his bachelors of science in soil and crop science.

As most know, Nelson works 3-4 jobs and really is at capacity for acquiring any other opportunities to save this amount of money. Nelson is extremely dedicated to finishing his last semester of 5 ½ years of his undergrad. Nelson is dedicated to the sustainability and regeneration of his community, life and nature. Through this, he has started to align as a research manager at Drylands Agroecology Research. He has put a significant amount of work in finding ways in which he can be a part of the solution with food security in our county and state as well as his country in general. As such, this assistance will help him continue to focus on this goal and support his endeavors in building his community and not setting him back with a significant amount of debt that prevents him from getting his degree if unmet. By supporting him, you are actively supporting the future of our local community as well as an ability to engage and teach more readily in the future without an additional heavy burden on top of his normal federal loans.

Nelson is not a person to ask for fiscal support in his community. However with this unexpected amount of funds needed to be dealt with, he is humbly asking any and all connections in his community to assist with donations small and large. Anything from $10 on would be more than beneficial. If anyone feels called to share this support in their community, this will also be highly beneficial. At this point, the only option that CSU is offering is to find a private loan elsewhere and nothing else. With inflation still hitting loans to have super high APR, this option is not ideal.

There is no pressure to contribute but if you know of people or friends and would fill called, please share. Thank you so much!
