Hello,

I am a  30 yr. old single mother with 2 boys, ages 13 & 8. I had my oldest son at the age of sixteen. My oldest being a miracle child, due to me not knowing i was pregnant with him  until the day before i had him. I know its unbelievable, but it is the absolute truth. My son is now 13 and he has gotten accepted to a prestige school due to his academic excellence and his testing skills. He has become a 13 year old professional at footbal and basketball. His scholo name is Mt. Saint Michael Academy and the tuition is $10,000.00 a year, and me being a single mother there is but so much i can afford, this tuition  does not include uniform and lunch and I really need help. I am not looking for a hand out...just a little help. Any donations can be given directly to the school.

Thanks it will be highly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!

Help!!!  My employer has cancelled their tuition reimbursement program.  Plus, the government only offers high-interest loans for my program (no grants).  I am slated to begin studying full-time at Roosevelt University  this summer.  I will be pursuing a Master of Science in Human Resources Management degree and tuition for this 11-course (31-credit hour) program will total $22,729. 

In addition, my parents were going to let me live with them in their basement while I went to school, but my grandmother had to move in with them so now I have to rent an apartment for $650.00 per month.

Thank you for taking time to read about my situation.  I appreciate any words of encouragement and/or financial support.  My paypal email address is octavio@illinoisalumni.org

Best regards!

P.S.  I can provide a copy of my acceptance letter if you'd like to see it.

HELLO, I am a Post Bacalaureat student with a degree in Political Science and a minor in Criminal Justice. I raised my family four children but I am now divorced and single. I have maxed out my student loan borrowing power at the undergraduate level and until accepted into a Graduate program I cannot take out any more loans. My education has been a struggle of children, balancing jobs and trying to save my marriage thereby my GPA is not good enough to qualify for  a Masters in Teaching Program at Missouri State University. I need to take courses for a semester and pay my own tuition. I currently have been forced to pay old Health Fees to this same university for the time w hen I was sick in 1996. This eight hundred dollars had to be paid before I could be allowed to register for classes. I registered for courses and I do not know how I will pay my tuition of two thousand dollars. I live in Public Housing  but have low rent by the time I buy food  and pay my monthly espenses there is not much left of the social security disability Irecieve from the government (five-hundred and sixty-nine dollars per month.)  I want to teach Art and Social Studies. I pay tuition to Drury University where I completed my last twelve units of my Bachelors Degree in 2003 and I did not qualify for a student loan then  either so I am over six thousand dollars in debt to them for which I pay fifty dollars a month. I owe the  government over 40,000 thousand dollars for my education this far which compounded interest continues all the while I am out of work or school. yet at my age (56)cannot find a job. I need to complete my education and be ready to start a career. I am between a rock and a hard place and if you write to me please use this in the subject matter. If this can lead to any help I would be grateful. I am not a smoker, or a drinker and do not use any illegal drugs. I was injured in 2000 by a man who claimed to want to help me and got a broken leg instead of any help. I still have a bad knee which leaves me out of some jobs requiring a lot of physical labor. I was planning to go to law school and run for Congress of htis country. I thought I could make a difference. As a social studies/art teacher I can do so one student at a time. Any help offered would be greatly appreciated. my email is rianarings@hotmail.com and my home phone is 417 862-1731. I am not asking for a hand out . Just some help. I have tried to get out of this mess and jsut cannot find a job. In this state it is said that it is not what you know but whom you know that matters. All donations will be viewed as money i will use in the future to help some one else when I get myslef straightened out. Thanks for listening at any rate. I pray every night for an answer to this dilema. Sincerely, Mary L. Mayfield 421 W. Madison Street Apt 403, Springfield, Missouri. P.S. I am the only one in my family who has earned this much education for six generations. I will provide more info if you need I do have good references from my former schools.

I am going through a very difficult divorce and need financial aid of any type to help pull myself and my children through this difficult time.
