Single mom, full time student, needs help
Donation protected
Hi, my name is Julia, and I am raising money to help cover monthly costs while I finish school. My rent is $250 a week, my utilities are around $400 a month, and the internet (so I can continue school) is $50 a month.
I have three boys that I'm raising by myself, and we have two dogs. Their dad made some bad choices and is out of the picture at this point, so I am all they have. Until my youngest starts kindergarten, daycare is just too expensive, which makes it hard for me to work outside my home. I have family, but they aren't geographically close enough to help with that.
I am, however, a full time student online, working towards my associates in computer science. I intend to continue on with my bachelor's degree, because that career would allow me to mostly be home with my kids. I am proud to say that I am maintaining a 4.0 GPA so far, and am hopeful that once I have completed my associates I will be able to find work in my field.
The problem is, my pell grant has apparently run out, and while I have maintained my bills with financial aid checks until now, all I have left are my student loans, which will just barely cover my tuition. I am in the process of trying to increase my loans, but this is apparently a time-guzzling process.
The point of all this is that I was expecting a much bigger financial aid check, one that would cover the month I am already past due plus the next four months until my next check, and now I do not even have half a month's rent. Not to mention power is due on the 20th. My youngest (pictured) needs new glasses... The bills don't stop just because my grant did..
I've never done something like this before, but I am in danger of losing my home, and I have nowhere else to take my kids. Any help to get us through until I can get my loans worked out would be more appreciated than you know ♡
