I am 28 years old, the single mother of two beautiful daughters age 3 & 8. I am currently attending college here going for my Major in Computer Information Systems, with a Minor in Business. Life is a struggle, but I keep going for my kids. I know that if I keep doing what I'm doing now, their lives will be so much better because of it.

Hi my name is Tim.  I am a single father of two small children.  My wife died about 4 months ago.  I work full time, and go to school full time.  I would be considered an example of 'working poor'.  Although I've qualified for some financial aid, it's not nearly enough to cover all of my expenses.  I guess most schools figure that everyone going there is single and living with three other students.

For those who think I must be irresponsible and that I should pay for things myself, I would love to.  I would apply for my own personal loan to pay for school and all my expenses, but when I was in the air force stationed overseas, my father stole my credit and ruined it.  I came back to over $50,000 debt in my name.  None of which was mine.  I had to file bankruptcy shortly after getting back to the states.  So, to others I appear to be irresponsible, when in fact, I tried for months to pay down the debt, but was overwhelmed.

I would appreciate any size donation.  I don't want a hand-out, just a hand-up.  Once I have acheived my goal of a degree and my finanacial situation has improved, I pledge to help others as I have been helped.

Thank you.
