I am a 23 year old college student. In 2004 my father divorced my disabled mother leaving us with nothing. I have been struggling to support myself and my mother while trying to continue my education. My mother and I have been denied health insurance or any government assistance. Our medical debt has me practically drowning in bills. The last few years I have been very sick myself suffering from large ovarian cysts that have left large amounts of scar tissue on several organs. I work over full time but at the moment i'm only able to pay for rent and late fees leaving all my bills quickly accumulating. I have applied for 3 loans recently and have been denied due to the large amount of medical debt. I only have 9 classes left before I can obtain my BA. I have managed to work and go to school both full time. My grades are excellent ranging from 3.5 to 4.0 semesters. I have lost my scholarship because of the time it has taken me to graduate. Because of my circumstances I have to work and i'm not able to take overload semesters to graduate on time. I'm trying desperately not to lose hope but I fear that I may not be able to go back to school. My university has exhausted all funds for scholarships for freshman and transfer students leaving nothing for currently attending students. Any ideas that would help me get back on my feet and back to school would be appreciated more than you know. My email address is faith16_2003@msn.com
