I am posting this because of the financial and emotional hit that accompanies the diagnosis and treatment of cancer, especially when there is no defined prognosis. Jennifer is not able to work, and though she lives with her mother an I we are barely able to keep our heads above water and she still has needs beyond what we can provide. There are three main reasons we seek donations. 1.To make sure Jennifer can pay bills we can not meet as a family. 2.To provide her with a means of escape from time to time. 3.And the hard one, to ensure we have funds for the worst case; Hospice and funeral. Yes, the third one seems morbid, but it is a fact. As Jen goes through her third round of Chemo she is weaker and experiencing side effects more sharply. We simply do not know what the future holds, and with no real prognosis we know that the worst is possible. We have discussed and accepted this fact. you can read more about her at www.zoesterimages.com

A little bit about me, I am currently a biology and math-economics major at Pitzer college. I transferred here last year, making this my second year. Currently I am conducting research , helping localize a protein vital in acetylation of newly synthesized histones, this is important because it has great applications in cancer treatment though some years away. In addition to my lab research, I also spend a great deal of time just working on math of my own or tutoring other students in Calc I and II, and working out!! My current G.P.A. is about a 3.4. Now my situation, I transferred to Pitzer College with a large amounts of credits from the University of La Verne and Pitzer only provides financial aid for 32 units (one class=one unit), which translates to essentially 4 classes a semester for 8 semesters, my problem arises from this fact. I came in with 16 Pitzer transferable units (in reality it was 20 but they only accepted 16), but not all of them counting towards my majors but instead towards GE requirements from La Verne. Because some classes did not transfer towards my majors here at Pitzer and because I need a few extra classes for my math-econ major I need to stay an additional year at Pitzer College to graduate with my degrees. Knowing this, last summer I started working. However, now while I am taking 5 classes and conducting research it is difficult to find much time to work, however, I am still working about 11-13 hours a week. Realistically this is not nearly enough; tuition runs about $55,000 for a year. I don’t come from a family with money, but we work hard and sacrifice a lot for me to go to school and in being the first in my family to attend college it means a lot for my family and I to reach my goal. For this reason I am asking you to please donate what you can or if you can’t please email a friend or family member a link to my story. Additionally, if you wish to verify my story this is my schools number (909) 621-8208, or if you want a copy of my transcripts, more info about my research (I’ll email you my thesis if you want), or you just have questions to ask me feel free to email me at angeles890@yahoo.com. Thank you for your time and consideration

I've never considering asking for money online like this, and to be honest, it makes me feel like less of a man. But, I don't care right now. This is not about ME, it's about the love of my life and her amazing children. Her name is Kathie. She works 10 hours a day, 5 days a week and barely makes enough to support herself and her three children. She lives about 90 miles away from me right now and we see each other weekly. We can't live together until I save up enough money to move, but moving isn't our concern right now either. Money has been worse than usual lately and she got a short check last week. The rent is past due, and the landlord is taking her to court on Tuesday. Unless she can pay the rent by then, she and her kids will be homeless. I'd do ANYTHING to keep her out of the homeless shelter. I can't stand the thought of such an amazing, caring and loving person having to do such a thing simply because she's underpaid and overworked. There's nothing else I can do, I'm broke. I've asked every family member and every friend to borrow money and she has as well. We've got about half the rent so far through loans and some small donations from friends and family, but it's not enough yet. Every little bit helps. Please, help me to help her. I'd drive there and pick them up myself and let them stay here if I owned a car, but since I don't, this is what I can do to help. Again, please help if at all possible. Thank you all!

Usually I'm travelling in bus, but i would like to travel in car ... Please donate some money for the same.
