Hey tumblr fam, I never thought I would be a person who was down bad enough to have to ask for help, but here I am. Yall know I rarely ever talk about my person life on this blog. But I need you guys now and I’m praying you can find it in your hearts to help me. 

As a lot of yall know and congratulated me on, I was accepted back to Howard this year. I found out earlier today that they’ve pretty much lost all the paperwork I submitted in an attempt to get more aid. I now have a $1600 balance that must be paid if I want to register next semester. If you know how financial aid works, than you know this means I will also have to pay that amount again next semester if I want to attend Howard during 2016-2017 or transfer my credits. 

I set up a gofundme, because I figured it couldn’t hurt. I have researched scholarships that have an October deadline (link here in case anyone needs that information) and I’m trying my best to get those. I have researched nonprofits that help single mothers, Black women, etc, but I’m not yielding much thats helpful. To be completely honest tho…I don’t have any support besides my dad’s ex, who allows me to live with her while I try to get on my feet. She loves me, but she is up to her ears in debt and barely managing to pay ALL the bills in expensive ass Montgomery County. I have no friends that aren’t still depending on their parents and me and my daughter have always been irrelevant to the very few family members I have that are actually in a position to help. I don’t really see any way I’ll be able to pay this balance off without outside help.

I have tried to include as much information as possible, to show that my need is genuine. I don’t have much to offer in return for monetary help except editing or paper writing services, which I am more than willing to provide if anyone needs or wants them. 

So here is the link again. If you can’t help, I understand and would be immensely grateful if you could reblog and put the information out there.
