Help Me Fund the Big Finish!
Donation protected
In 1977, after approximately two years at Denver Community College, I quit school to go to work in construction, always thinking I would save some money and go back to school as soon as possible. I worked hard for years and eventually got my real estate brokers license, all the while thinking I needed to finish college. I could see where my lack of higher education was costing me. Once I was married and started having kids it seemed there was no way to go back to school. Finally, after nearly a lifetime, and after raising six kids, and at the age of 50, I committed to finishing what I started. I enrolled full time at Colorado Mesa University in 2010. It took nearly a year to relearn how to be a student and I made mistakes but I eventually got going and now I am scheduled to graduate in December of 2015. The issue is I ran out of money and financial aid just before my last semester! I am almost finished but have nothing left until I can get to work, which I can't do until I get the degree. I am asking for help to pay for my last semester so that I can graduate with a bachelors degree in busness administration with an emphasis in general management. I am also taking care of my 87 year old dad who has dementia and is nearly deaf and blind at this point. The bottom line is that I just really need help to finish this so I can get back to taking care of myself and family. It seems like a miracle that I've gotten this far and I hope it carries me to that graduation ceremony! Thank you for your support!
