I am in trouble, but I have faith

I am a student Pastor.  Two years ago I lost my son, through no fault of my own.  His father was very abusive to me physically and mentally.  His family is well connected in his community. They know the courts and some judges.  Basically I stood very little chance.  Even my own attorney rolled-over on me.  My son was taken from my custody, and I was ordered to pay child support.  Over the course of the past 2 years, taking my son was not good enough, he had to take my visitation as well.  My son and I are very close.  He is suffering immensely.  I have been strugling with my ex and his family using my son as a pawn.  It is cruel, and definitely not in my son's best interest. My son is only 7 years of age.

 I am very talented in many areas through the grace of God, but it is difficult to hold a job with all these court dates and such.  I am 7,500 behind in child support.  There was an arrest warrant recently issued on me.  I can do websites, photography, graphic design, and I am an award winning writer.  If you can see it in your heart to help me.  I would be glad to provide my services to you.  May God continue to bless you.

I am a graduate student from Russia. The first year of school was very challenging for me, without proper knowledge of English it was really hard to study, but I did my best. I also have a part time job on campus (as an international student I’m not allowed to work anywhere else and my maximum is 20 hours per week). I was hoping to get a teaching assistantship position, but my department has a policy by which they don’t hire international students for the first year. I took a loan to pay my first and second semesters, my dad cosigned and I’ve been paying it off regularly. By the middle of the spring I started to look for summer internship and got 3 really good offers. I also got an offer to do teaching assistantship Fall 2007, which would solve all of my problems…

Unfortunately it appeared that my GPA wasn’t high enough to be allowed to work in Summer. It was 2.95 when supposed to be at least 3.0. I got a C+ for one course (it was 79.3%, 80% would be already B-…).

So I got terminated and reinstated, I’m not allowed to work, I’m not allowed to TA and I can’t get a student loan because my dad refuses to cosign. I tried to apply for a loan, but no one would give it to an international student without a cosigner. I’ve been working part time on campus, babysitting, selling some things on e-bay, looking for long-term job, I did anything I could to collect the needed amount. I could pay $1,000 out of $11,000.

I don’t need money for anything, I don’t care what to wear and what to eat, all I need is to pay my Fall tuition. If I lift my GPA, which I’m already doing by taking a summer course, my grade is A so far, I can apply for TA again, or for co-op job outside the campus. But I am not allowed to do it right now, regardless of my success.

Please, help me if you can. I would be grateful for any amount you can give.
