Carly's College Graduation

Donation protected
Hello family and friends!

As we all know getting and finishing our college education these days is a difficult task as we face budget cuts, financial aid issues, and the loads of debt we acquire. I think we can all relate to the obstacles we have to overcome to finally receive our degree! We all love and adore my sister Carly and I am asking for your help. Carly has worked extremely hard going to school full time and working 40 plus hours a week. She is also financially independent of my parents and paying for all of her college education on her own. I applaud my sister and many others who do this difficult but rewarding part during their education.

Basically the short story is Carly was expecting to receive her summer financial aid from FAFSA (like she did the previous summer) but this year after registering for her summer classes, FAFSA said she had no coverage for summer. Reeling from the many emotions you go through when you realize your plan is not going accordingly, a close friend gave me an idea to start a gofund page to help Carly get her degree! Carly is on track with an overall 3.8 GPA to graduate in this fall but not completing her summer classes delays her graduation another year!

My parents have done all they can do to help Carly out, even though they wish they could pay for it all. My mom works as a special ed instructional assistant for the school district and during these months she does not get paid. I am giving Carly 1,000 dollars and my parents & Carly have come up with an additional $3,000. This is the break down - she still needs 2,000 dollars out of a 6,000 payment. As a family we have pinched together every penny we have but still have come short.

I am asking if 100 people could donate 20 dollars each (or whatever you are willing to help with) so Carly's goal of graduating college will become a reality! She has worked so hard & now to be faced with another obstacle is overwhelming, but if we unite as one we can help Carly out! Carly is one of the most loving, responsible, and caring individuals who puts others before herself. Carly has shown me how to be a better person and I love her so much. It would be such a wonderful thing to help her out. I feel we all can understand the pressure of financial issues and wouldn't it be a wonderful experience to help our friend out? It is nice to receive when we need help, but it is even better to give to help out our friends. If I had another option I would use it, but this is the only one we have at the moment. If you could please pass this along or if you feel inclined to donate it would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for listening,
