Mom's Final Semester!
Donation protected
I'm going to get straight to it - today, my mom found out that her school isn't going to provide financial aid for her final semester. She attends Delaware Technical Community College for nursing classes and she has one semester left before she gets her RN. Unfortunately, because she took credits for social work over ten years ago at the same school, she has now reached the maximum credits allowed for federal financial aid.
My mom has been through a lot. When she lost her job as a social worker, it was because she had to stay home with my sister who was currently going through a sexual harassment case with one of the teacher's at our high school. She lost her job because of it and when she returned to the work force, it was as a CNA. At first, she just worked hard with what she had to pay the bills, but in the past few years, she had decided she wants more and has gone back to school.
She works so hard to get through her classes while also working at the same time. She's got amazing grades and she's only about five months away from graduation.
However, at this time, without the financial aid, my mom would be unable to pay for the last semester of school, and her appeal was denied. She's going through a lot lately, including a divorce, and it's going to be hard to manage rent, schoolwork, actual work, and all the other things weighing on her without having to also worry about paying for school.
My mom's done so much for me and my siblings throughout the years and I'd really like to help her out, but I'm also paying off school loans and I'm completely incapable of giving her anything. So that's why I'm asking for your help. Anything you can give would really be amazing. Even if it's just a dollar or two, every penny will go to my mother and helping her pay for school so that she at least doesn't have to worry about that one thing.
Please, if you can donate something, I would be endlessly grateful and I know my mother would be too. She deserves it after all the good things she's done for people! Help my mom get through college, please!
