Education First

Hi Everyone,

Thank you for coming online to view this Fundraiser. I am fundraising to go back to Michigan State University. I love University of Michigan but I did not get accepted as a transfer student. 

I have learned that without the proper education I am not equipped for a Sustainable Job. I also want to learn because I feel that it will make me a whole person. Learning is fun. 

In 2007, I was having a meeting with one of my Advisors in the College of Agriculture and she mentioned that she thought I might have ADHD. I didn't believe it because it was the first time I heard anything like that related to my learning capabilities. By 2013, I had been in and out of Michigan State University. I finally decided to go see if what my Advisor said was true. 

Now that I have the proper doctor treating me for my mental illness, I am ready to go back and finally finish. Most jobs require a degree and I want to go back to the school environment.

I owe a past due bill and due to Federal Regulations until the bill is paid I can not 

A. Register for Classes 

B. Obtain any Financial Aid

I am also asking for help with a car as not having one has been a barrier to me doing anything with a decent paying job that does not require a degree and I would like to be able to get to Doctors Appointments and Class when the summer starts. If you would like to pay Michigan State University directly please email me and I can send you a payment coupon with my student number. 

Thank you for making this Dream Possible.
