Melissa Sitchon Nursing Last Sem

Donation protected
My name is Julie and I'm a nursing student at a private college, Unitek. I started out my nursing career here in the bay and I didn't have friends. I slowly started making friends and came across a very special girl named Melissa Stichon.

Melissa is very bright and dedicated, I know what you must be thinking.. What happened to get her here? Well, private colleges are pricier but with a shorter wait time. Melissa started her career and is the only girl of 3 siblings. She helps out her mom and dad by caring for her brothers and helping out at home. She finds time to study in the evenings, even if she's sick or exhausted. We study our butts off every morning for hours. I can vouch for all her hard work and I know her ambition is only what all of us desire, a better future.
Recently, Unitek did not notify her about the difference in TA and other paperwork given to her. 3 months before graduating they informed her she owed a good anount of money! Money that she does not have readily available and not to mention, her parents are paying for her tuition and had no clue of this last minute bill. It's a lot of money for a nursing student with no job, if she had a job, she wouldn't be doing great in the program.
I'm fortunate to have my school paid for through my Post 9/11 GI Bill and I plea that we help her out please. 3 months is so close and I'd hate to see my amazing classmate drop out after 9 months of hard work. Please find it in your heart to contribute even if it's just a dollar.
I hope God allows us to find the means for her and her family. I appreciate all of you and I hope God blesses you and your home with any act of kindness.
