I am currently a full time nursing student taking double the amount of credits for a full time student would take. Three years ago I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis, if you don't know what that is, it is inflammation and ulcers in the colon causing extreme pain and bleeding. While in the process of being diagnosed I had to withdraw from school twice. Now that it is under control I am almost finished with my nursing program. I am paying almost $10,000 for school, which I have under control. However, due to my extremely demanding schedule I do not have time to work. When I am not in class I am studying. My boyfriend is working so hard to provide for both of us but it is hard for him to save money whole doing so. As for me, I have spent the last of my saved money on rent, bills and groceries this month. I am working hard to succeed in a career where I can help others, I would greatly appreciate your help. And I will pay it forward when I am stable.

Divorced older woman. One step away from the street. All my kids are grown. I became ill in 2011. I was laid off and my unemployment ran out. Lost my car and was evicted. Kind hearted relatives let me stay with them but I still need money to pay for medications and basics. I have sold everything I could and have nothing left. My relatives can not afford to help me out financially. I need help to pay for my Co-pays for medications, soap, toothpaste, etc. I have basic medical through the state that covers some prescriptions but that does not cover specialists, or co-pays. I am trying to find a specialist but it is taking a long time to find one who will see me without insurance coverage. Any amount will help. God bless and thank you for reading this.
