Hi everyone,

I'm a sophomore at Oklahoma State University, and I'm asking for help to start the fall semester. I'm just $1,600 short of paying my tuition, and I have a deadline of this Friday, August 22nd, to pay the remaining balance and enroll in classes.

I've been working two jobs all summer and have exhausted all my options with FAFSA and financial aid. My family has already given all they can, and I'm so grateful for their support.

This is a last resort. I have access to funds from a trust left by my late mother that would cover my tuition, but my grandmother, Ilda Walker, is legally holding the funds and refuses to release them. This has forced me to start this GoFundMe.

I never imagined I'd be in this position, but I am determined to continue my education. Any donation, big or small, would be a miracle. If you're unable to donate, sharing this post would mean the world to me.

Thank you so much for your support.

Monica Zamora ..
