I need help to go to college

Hi my name is Ray McClellan and I am 20 years old. Right now I just signed up for James Madison highschool to finish my credits. They told me I have to pay $1,000. I'm missing 2 1\2 right now and I'm going redo some classes I didn't do good in. The reason I am missing 2 1\2 credits was my school had change in counselors so my school plan got changed. I was supposed take summer school to get the credits. My mom had a stroke and wasn't the same mentally or physically. I went to work and been from job to job thinking the next would be better opportunity. My mom passed away back in June. Since then I felt bad she never saw my diploma or go to college and it's to late now but I'm getting my diploma and going to college. I am going get a Engineering degree and also a degree in Coaching. Any amount will help pay for getting my highschool diploma and the rest for college. This is last picture I have of me and my mom before the stroke and this was 2 months before the stroke. I am working just hard to save money with bills.
