Help Me Finish My Degree!

Donation protected
Hi everyone! I will get right to it! I am currently working on finishing my undergraduate degree in Public Health at Wayne State University. The couple of pictures I've posted here are from my 2016 graduation from Wayne County Community College. Why? Because I had to post pictures but also to show that I have not taken a break from school since fall 2012 when I enrolled at Wayne County Community College. I knew my career prospects wouldn't be significant with an associate's degree in science alone, so, when I graduated from WCCCD in the summer of 2016, that same summer I enrolled at WSU to pursue my bachelor's in science. 

It is taking quite a while because I work full-time and at times could not juggle a full-time class schedule at the same time.  While I have paid for classes here and there on my own, up until this point I was still receiving federal student loans that covered most of my classes.  However, as of this summer, I am completely out of financial aid. 

I have four classes left to finish my degree. I am paying for one of them out of pocket this summer and could use any and all help I can get to finish the last three, that would cover tuition for fall/winter 2021.

I know there's a lot going on right now. This may be the worst time to put my pride aside and ask for help with so many people in need during this pandemic. I promise I am not asking for help and not helping myself. I am working a few days right now but I'm no longer full-time. Due to covid-19, my hours have been reduced and I am on underemployment. Saving money for school will not be easy, especially not in the time I have left before fall semester starts.

The goal amount it is to cover tuition and fees for three classes. To give you an idea of how much that could possibly be, the class I am paying for this summer, out of my own pocket, is $2,500.

I also acknowledge this may feel late considering fall semester begins at the end of August but I had to wait for approval to enroll in the fall courses which I received today (5/7/20).

Any little bit helps get me closer to my goal! Thank you so much for reading this and for even considering if you decide you cannot help.

Take care of yourselves and your loved ones. Please be safe.
