Help Yeuriel Finish 1st Yr at CSUEB

My name is Yeuriel Negrete, I am a first generation college student attending CSU East Bay. Ever since moving to this country from Mexico at the age of 10 I have dreamed of being the first in my family to earn a college degree. My current major is Automotive Engineering and I hope after I graduate I will be able to find a career that will allow me to design cars. 

As an undocumented student I have faced many challenges in my life, but what feels like the most impossible barrier at this moment is funding my college education. Unfortunately, I am ineligible to receive financial aid this academic year and as an undocumented student I cannot take out any loans. However, next academic year I will receive the Cal Grant and be eligible to take out a loan thanks to Governor Brown passing a new legislative.

My family was able to come up with enough money to cover my educational expenses thus far, but we are unable to pay for the last quarter of my first year at CSUEB, which is why I am asking you for your finacial support. If I am unable to raise enough money by the start of Spring quarter(3/23) I will be forced to drop out of college.  Any amount you have to offer will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,
Yeuriel Negrete
