Yasmeen's College Tuition

Donation protected
My daughter, Yasmeen, is enrolled in college in Massachusetts.  She has impressed her professors her first year, but we have no money at this time to cover the remainder of her tuition after loans and scholarships.                    When I had my last baby, Yasmeen - at 16 yrs old - came to every pediatric visit, helped with her baby brother in the middle of the night, and helped care for him while I recovered from back surgery.    She did all of this because I could not lift my own baby after he was one month old until after I had my back surgery.  (I can now lift my son.)          
       Yasmeen was seriously considering a career in academia. She is the girl who finds essay writing (20 pages) to be not easy, but certainly very doable. She wrote 30 pages on Freud just in her Freshman year. She has taken extra classes. I know I am biased because she is my daughter, but she has always been a student for research and academics in the field of humanities. She does need to be in college. And she has been happier at Hampshire than I think I have ever seen her. She found her community of progressives, of self-directed learners who embrace academia, and of amazing professors. If 450 people could spare ten dollars, we can do this! She has been approved for three work study jobs for next semester, so that will help, but we need this $5K to prevent her from being blocked from readmission for the Spring.    She is receiving federal aid, a generous  partial tuition forgiveness financial needs scholarship from Hampshire College, and a community service scholarship, but it does not cover the full amount.       Please feel free to share!
