Get Madeline back in school
Donation protected
Hi everybody,
As some of you may know, I'm currently out of school. I'm living at home and working two jobs to financially support my single mother and three younger sisters.
Home is a really toxic place for me and I want more than anything to be back at Bard. I'm due to come back next semester, but in order to do so, I need to pay Bard $3,000 by Wednesday. That's my overdue Nov payment as well as my payment for Dec. After leaving an abusive relationship with my father, my mom is unemployed and in an insane amount of debt. Our only income as a family, besides what I bring home, is the $2,500 that she gets in child support per month. If it's not paid by Wednesday (tomorrow) I won't be allowed to register for classes AND financial aid will increase my fees for bieng overdue.
I currently have $200 in my bank account. My mom has about $2,000. Even if we put this all towards the bill due Wednesday, it won't be enough. And if we do, then we have no money left for the rest of the month to buy food, pay bills, etc.
If any of you could contribute anything to help me make this payment, even a few dollars, I would be extremely grateful. Being able to go back to school means so so much to me. Anything helps!
Please and thank you,
Madeline
Note: As a long term plan, my mother is trying to refinance our home so she will be able to afford my monthly tuition payments, but this won't go through until early January.
