Help Zin Go to Grad School Residency

Hello, All

My name is Teri Clarke PKA Zin E. Rocklyn and I am currently pursuing my Master's in Creative Writing from Lesley University located in Cambridge, MA. This coming semester is my last full semester (wahoo!) and as with all semesters, we are required to be on-campus for a nine-day residency when we attend workshops for works-in-progress as well as seminars and readings for creative expansion. As some of you know, I am struggling financially. I freelance edit and authenticity read as well as work as a writer's assistant, but my financial responsibilities exceed what I make.

This is why I need your help.

Currently, I cannot afford this important and necessary trip to Boston, MA from Fort Pierce, FL. In addition to everyday life expenses, I am enrolled in intensive weekly therapy and monthly medication management for my mental illnesses. Florida does not have a support system in place for those single and childless so I pay full price for my services. Right now, I am behind in paying my therapy balance, which is currently $760, and my psychiatric balance, which is $360.

The goal set takes care of my room, board, and travel as well as catches me up with my medical expenses.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and consider supporting me. Any and every amount helps. Please share!
