Help Aubrey go back to college!

Hi! :)
My name is Aubrey Haskell. I'm 21 years old, and I've completed two years at Clark University in Worcester, MA. Last summer I was forced to take a year-long medical leave. Clark promised me that they would keep my financial aid package until I returned. I'm now finding out that my aid package (previously covering full tuition) for this coming year is a couple thousand dollars short. This may not seem like a big deal, but for me this may mean the difference between me finishing college--or being forced to drop out. Clark Financial Aid has told me that they have given me the most aid that they can. The difference seems to be due to the ever-increasing cost of tuition and me losing my State of Maine Grant (our governor has imposed new restrictions on which students can get this grant). At this point I am saving every penny from my jobs, cashing in savings bonds, etc. The outcome is looking bleak--I am falling quite short and the abovementioned goal does not take into consideration books, groceries, transportation (or tuition for next year). Anything, any amount at all that you are willing to give would be so, so appreciated!
To give you a bit of background--I went to Cheverus High School in Portland, Maine on full financial aid. I worked hard to maintain a 3.96 GPA and participate in many extracurriculars such as Spanish Club, Debate Team, and the Civil Rights Team. When I started to hear back from colleges that I had applied to, I realized that Clark University was my only viable option. I had been accepted into other colleges that I really liked, but none of them gave them anywhere near the amount of financial aid that Clark did. Luckily, I had fallen head-over-heels in love with Clark. I began my freshman year and solidified my intentions to major in Biology, with a Pre-Med concentration. I joined the student EMS squad and found a work study in Sports Medicine, both of which I loved. I intend to finish what I started. My dream is to get into medical school, become a D.O., and volunteer for Doctors Without Borders. I have many other dreams too, but college and medical school are the crucial first steps!
Thank you so much for your support. I am seeking to gain education so that I can make a difference in the world. Any help you give me will be paid forward, I can promise you that.
With gratitude,
Aubrey Leigh Haskell
