Graduation Gift!
Donation protected
Hi everyone!
As many of you know I'm graduating May 8th and I have a special favor to ask of y'all. Not only am I the first in my family to attend an undergraduate program and graduate with a college degree; I'm also attending Drake's law school this fall on a half-tuition scholarship! Unfortunately, due to extentuating circumstances, my family isn't able to attend my graduation.
I won't be able to go home until the end of May. I understand that it's because of my choosing. I've worked too hard to miss out on certain opportunities.
I don't want nor do I need clothes or a vacation. Instead of buying me a graduation gift pitch in to help my dream come true. For graduation I'd like to be able to go home for a week to see my family.
I've spent a lot of money this semester with signing up for my LSAT, applying to law schools, and paying for expenses related to my unpaid internships. While I do work three part-time jobs (at celebration farms, YPN, and babysitting) I haven't been able to work as much due to recent events on campus. And in all honesty, my money from those jobs goes to paying my tuition and making payments to my student loans.
So at the end of this month, with your help I'd like to be able to go home to Texas and relax with my family before working away this summer. This money would pay for some upkeep on my truck (replace my broken back windshield/oil change/tire rotation) so that it's a dependable vehicle and for the gas to drive down to Texas. This summer I'm trying to save up to offset costs when I start law school. My hope is to not take out so big of loans so I don't add more to my college debt.
I really appreciate any and all help I receive. It would mean the world to me to be able to go home stress-free for some much needed family time.
Thank you!
