I got into SUNY New Paltz for the fall. Financial aid covers most of the cost, but I'm a few thousand short and also need extra for books and other expenses. Any little bit helps. It's my dream school, and

I don't want to miss a career-building opportunity because I couldn't fully afford it. Could use the help really. Please help out. I had to put off school because my dad was arrested and I had to help my mom take care of my siblings. Now they’re grown and I want to continue my education. I just graduated from BCC with my associate’s but I want to continue and show the world that I can do this. Make an impact on the world. Feels like the whole world is against me.
