Please Help My Siblings and I Stay in College
Donation protected
Hello, I was recently featured on an ABC7 news report about how this government shutdown is making my registration for the spring semester difficult. My siblings are also having trouble being able to find the money to pay off our balances, we come from a single mother household and we have exhausted all of our resources. Our only hope now is applying for more grants and scholarships, prayer, and the help we receive from family and friends.
My twin brother, Glenn, is a freshman and plays football for King's College, he's an International Business major as well, on top of having a part-time job. My older sister, Ivy, is a junior at Howard University. She's a Politics major with an international relations concentration. She also has a job and has to commute to school everyday. She has managed to overcome so many struggles and paved the way for me and Glenn to go through the college experience. I am a freshman at the University of Maryland - College Park. I recently completed my first semester with a pretty decent GPA (3.6) and I am also the recipient of the PelGrant, and other scholarships and awards.
We have been able to accomplish so much with the constant help and support of our mother, Gladys. She is our rock and traveled to America when we were all just toddlers. For over 13 years she was able to sustain us, even though we struggled.
$20,000 is a lot of money to ask for, I know. But whatever money I can raise will help all of us go back to school and help make our mother proud. Please help us continue our education and follow our dreams.
Thank you all for your help.
