Support Foxglove's Journey to Stability

Hi,

I'm Foxglove. I am 26 years old and a college student at present going for my medical laboratory degree, and I am in need of some help. I'm normally extremely uncomfortable asking for help hat-in-hand because I like to work for it. But I am currently in a position where I need help.

Five years ago, right before the pandemic, I was in college for something I was talked into. I don’t know if I was ready for college. However, I wasn't old enough to get unsubsidized loans, and with being autistic, I ended up having my eating disorder worsened as a result of working and doing school full-time. On top of that, I faced a lot of trauma from my home life and a car wreck. So, I ended up having a nervous breakdown which resulted in me making very rash decisions and doing self-destructive things like quitting my job during a time when jobs were harder to come by. I haven't been able to find stable employment since.

I don't expect to make my goal completely or for anybody to fully clean up my stupid decisions that I made in my early 20s. But I am desperately trying to fix this because if I don’t I will lose my shot at getting my life together.

I have until at least august next year (2025) to pay this off or I will lose access to federal aid and Pell grants.

Please help at any capacity that you are able. I am very much in need of help.

even if goals are not reached, funds will be going all towards getting out of delinquency status so I can start making 120 qualifying IDR repayments.
