Support a writer's journey to an MFA at Pacific U

I am a poet, essayist, performer, film critic, and senior citizen. Recently, I was admitted to an MFA program at Pacific U in Oregon and attended their 10-day writing residencies. Earning this degree is my dream, after surviving cancer. Two years of intense study at $25,000 a year. Their teaching staff is great, and they like my writing! Help me achieve this miracle?

I've been a teacher at alternative schools, staffing coordinator at a nursing registry, legal secretary, volunteer barmaid at North Beach Festival, and house sitter in my long, colorful career. Beating cancer is my greatest achievement. Now I want to add an MFA to my life's work. With your help, this miracle will happen.
