Help A Disabled Grad Student Get Through Fall 23
Donation protected
Hey All,
I honestly never thought I would end up asking for help so publicly but I've pretty much leveraged every asset I have available to me, and will continue to do so, but that doesn't change the fact that I'm pretty much out of gas to get to school and I took my last anxiety pill last night and can't afford to refill it...
I'm a disabled grad student studying social work and public health (ironic isn't it?) and unfortunately I didn't receive the financial aid I was anticipating for this year, costing me thousands of dollars more to attend school and putting me in a pretty precarious situation health and living wise... If my body was able I would just get a starbucks or fast food job tomorrow but those places do not allow accommodations for my particular issues (apparently sitting down is illegal). I've applied for literally 20 Grad jobs at my university and the few applications that were actually reviewed led to pretty much nothing, and the required practice hours I work every week (14 minimum) are unpaid. I know everyone is doing about the same as me but if you have a few bucks and wouldn't mind throwing it my way it will keep me hanging on until I can secure a paying position.
I really appreciate everyone and also how embarrassing is this amirite?
