   I do not want to bore anyone with dramatic details of my situation. Instead, I will be as simple and as honest as possible. I am 31 and a single mother. My daughter is 8 years old. Her dad has not payed support since she was 3. I have gone back to school twice since then, once for my associate degree in science, and now for my BSN. I have ONE semester left. Two classes! That is all. However, I have used the maximum allowance for my student loans, and my grants do not amount to much since I also work every minute that I can. This makes my income go up, which makes my eligibility go down. I have applied to every scholarship possible, online and in the community. I have no family able to help me, and I have no credit left to use.  It seems that there are scholarships for everything, except for me. I see scholarships for every race, culture, disability, etc. How about a middle class, single, caucasian woman who has worked everyday of her life to provide for her only child? Why is that too much to ask?

Hello,

I am a 34 year old black single female that has a bachelor's degree in English.  After several years of secondary education teaching, I have decided to return to school and pursue an accerlated nursing degree.  Because I have a bachelor's degree with student loans, I am no longer able to receive undergraduate loans.  The cost of an accelerated nursing program is around 70,000 - 75,000 dollars.  I am asking (no begging) for help to achieve my goal and dream of being a nurse.  This is not a joke.  I have completed one graduate course; yet, I know nursing is my true calling.

If anyone can give me information or guidance to help me, PLEASE DO SO!!

Thank you,

LJ

I am a 39 year old widowed mother of 3 children in desperate need of some help..  My husband was recently murdered.........a victim of road rage........by a group of young men.  I am at my wits end trying to hold on to the life that we built for our children.  I am an LPN and work full time and I also started a business a little over a year ago as a Notary Signing Agent which does bring in a little income but it just doesn't make up for w  Wohat my husband use to bring in.  In time I know that it will and I will be totally self sufficient but right now I need to make sure that my babies don't lose their father and their home too.  If you could just find it in your heart of hearts to help me in this time of need I am sure the lord will reward you 1000 times over and my children and I would be FOREVER GREATFUL!!  If everyone who reads this can send as little as $10 you could help me save our home and catch up on all of the other bills that have gotten behind.  You can mail it to 5 Emmaus Road  Poquoson, VA 23662.  I thank each and every one of you and my children do too.  May God Bless and Keep You!!!

Thank you again for anything you are able to do for us.  We will greatly appreciate you for the rest of our lives!

I am a single mother of two children 10 and 13. I am a nurse which is a good profession but I can't manage to stay afloat these past few months. My son was diagnosed with Wolf White Parkinson's Syndrome last year and ever since then it's been a steady down-fall.  I cannot get any public help because I do work and want to continue working. I work 2 full time jobs currently. My needs may be large to some, small to another...I need assistance with my current bills, currently behind 2 months on my mortgage.  If anyone could help, please let me know I would greatly appreciate it, I'm not looking for a hand-out...I could repay a loan in monthly payments. Thank you
