UPDATE: I ~officially~ finished school in May(!), but APU won’t release my diploma until I reach a zero balance. I have been able to pay some of my balance down, however it has become extremely difficult to make even small payments. APU refuses to give me grace on this situation, & they are adding interest for the payments I can’t make.

Anything y’all can give, I am appreciative. If you can’t give, I appreciate you thinking about it, & I ask that you pass this along to someone who may be able to.

I’m thisclose to being done with APU forever. TO FREEDOM!!







ORIGINAL: With the beginning of Fall classes, I have officially entered my FINAL SEMESTER of Undergrad at Azusa Pacific University! I am very excited and very blessed to have made it this far in my education journey. Because this is my final semester, I am looking to graduate this December instead of in May. In order to be cleared for graduation, I have to meet all academic requirements, as well as financial ones, by NOVEMBER 1st.

I currently owe APU $9,000, and everything that I am raising, will go towards my balance (so I can graduate!!). As the first  of my parents' children to make it this far, graduating from Azusa Pacific will be a major milestone not just for me, but for my family as well. I understand that as money is tight for me, it may be tight for you as well. No donation is too small (seriously, I'll get excited for $1), and if you can't give, that is okay. If it's on your heart to just share this fundraiser with someone that may able to help, I am thankful for that as well. 

From the death of my brother, to my semester in Ecuador, my college journey has been a rollercoaster of laughter and tears, but I would not have made it this far without the support around me. In this season of change, I ask for one last helpful gesture toward me. God bless.
