Help Queer Undocumented Student Finish Masters Deg

Donation protected
Hi everyone,

My name is Vanni also known as Jairo. I am a queer undocumented student and this is my last semester of my Masters Program at San Francisco State University. Unfortunately, I was not able to receive any financial aid this semester and I have to pay my tuition out of pocket. At the moment, I do not have the funds and I would appreciate it, from the bottom of my heart, if anyone could help by making a donation and spreading the word. It does not matter the amount. I want to be able to accomplish my goal that I have been working so hard for. At the same time, I am not currently working, but I have been applying to jobs, with no immediate success. I also may not be able to pay for rent, since I ran out of my savings.

Obtaining this degree means a lot to me. I am the first one in my immediate family pursuing a Masters Degree. I want other undocumented and students of color to see that it is possible to attend grad school and I want to join the many undocumented students that have been to overcome barriers to getting a Master's. This is the last step I have to complete in order to continue my academic goal of applying for a Ph.D. program. I have until January 31st, 2020 to pay for my tuition which the total amount due is: 4,370.00

I would truly appreciate the help from all of you. I never thought I would be asking for this type of help, but I am in need. Finishing my master's degree means so much to me and I would not want to just get halfway through. Thank you for your contribution and for sharing. It means so much to me.

Hola a todos,

Mi nombre es Vanni también conocido como Jairo. Yo soy un estudiante “queer” indocumentado y este es el último semestre de mi maestría en la Universidad Estatal de San Francisco. Desafortunadamente, no puede recibir ayuda financiera este semestre y tengo que pagar la matrícula universitaria por mi propia cuenta. En este momento, no tengo los fondos suficientes y apreciaría desde lo más profundo de mi corazón, si cualquiera de ustedes pudieran hacer una donación y pasar la palabra. No importa la cantidad. Lo que quiero es poder completar mi sueño por el que he estado trabajando muy duro.

Muchísimas gracias de ante mano.
