Help Cheyenne Stay in College

Donation protected
Hi my name is Erica Rainwater and I am desperately setting this Go Fund Me up for my daughter Cheyenne Rainwater!!
Cheyenne has very limited support right now and as a single mother with another child with autism we are struggling! Her father is not of any help, financially or emotionally as far as that goes! Many promises made Zero kept.
Cheyenne is about to start her second semester of freshman year at NKU! She is doing amazingly well and her professors praise her for her extraordinary work in animation which is her major.BFA ( bachelor of fine arts) She's got such a bright future ahead of her!
We struggled all last semester to take care of her tuition, which was nearly impossible but we did it! However with us recently having to move unexpectedly and Christmas and more money going out than coming in, the reality is my daughter will be unenrolled from college as of January the 15th! We are both so heartbroken! She's achieving things that most of her family on both sides couldn't! She's a trailblazer and a cycle breaker! I'm trying to get some help for at least this semester which I will upload proof and documentation of what is owed for the semester, comments by professors, as well as her talent! It breaks this mama's heart when people have said well at least she tried! No, that answer is not good enough! She is such a good wholesome awesome person and deserves his higher education more than anyone I can think of! She's had it rough, however she's persevered! A lot of people have also asked why she is not working. The reason is because her caseload as far as work goes was so heavy that she had absolutely no free time, actually had to drop a class because her load was so heavy, and was in the studio working past midnight a lot of days! Going without sleep just to make sure her assignments are done! With her schedule there was no way that she could possibly work, even if it's work study at college, because of the lack of time! And on top of that she has had so much stress fearing not being able to finish college because of financial reasons. We have did FAFSA and she has done scholarships and grants, however that still leaving about 1200 to 1500 per semester! Which might as well be a million to us!
Cheyenne was hesitant to allow me to do this but we have explored other avenues including financial aid her counselor without any luck! I explained to her that desperate times call for desperate measures! So if anyone could please help and donate money towards this worthy cause of Cheyenne's education this mama would be so appreciative! Anything and everything helps! And if you could please share this as much as possible!
*Unfortunately it would not let me upload any of her animations but here are some of her artworks!!
