Help Sophie Overcome Medical and Tuition Debt

My name is Sophie. I'm 57, and a PhD candidate at PSU. The problem is that being a grad student doesn't pay well. Then the medical issues started: gall bladder attacks. Tremendous pain. So it had to come out. That's $5000 I don't have. Making payments means I'm behind on tuition, out of food, and both tuition and medical are very overdue.

I hate to ask... but I need help.

Any money goes first to food, then tuition, then medical. If any is left, I will donate it to charity.

Thank you.
