HELP ANDRU STAY IN COLLEGE
Donation protected
I am starting this fundraiser for my mentee Andru Jones; he is a student of color pursuing his Bachelor of Science in Nursing through an accelerated program with the hopes of graduating in September 2021. He just relocated from Stockton, California to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to attend Drexel University.
He is the first male of color in his family to pursue nursing and he needs our help. He has exhausted his financial aid, he cannot qualify for a private student loans, he has no one who will cosign, and he needs $45,000 to continue his education. He currently owes $12,500 for the current quarter. If he does not pay he will be dropped from his classes and have to move back to Stockton, California.
A bit about Andru, he is the oldest sibling of 3, raised by a poor single mom. He is the first person in his family to take a risk and move away from home to pursue higher education. He comes from a city where less than 20 percent of the population have earned a Bachelor's Degree. He is trying to change that, educate himself, and help his family and community.
