Help with legal funds for school

I fell in love with medicine a long time ago and built my dream to become a PA when I was still in Iraq during my first tour to Haditha back in 2007. Since that time I have worked tirelessly in pursuit of a career in medicine, getting my degree in biology, working in scientific research, and then as an EMT. Recently I was dismissed from my medical program. When I sought out legal advice I was informed that the nature of my dismissal was one in which could very well have violated the law. However, in order to clear my name and get the appeal dismissed I need to get legal representation as this fight will be one that is above my level of expertise. Additionally, given that my wife and I aren't working we are in dire financial straights since we were relying solely on my financial aid to support us. I am now job hunting to try to make ends meet but we would still need help to cover the legal fees required. If you feel it in you to donate a little more it would be much appreciated since we are in very difficult times. The money will go directly towards paying for a legal retainer and initial costs and helping us pay the bills just until I can find some work.
