Hi, my name is Madeline and I am 19 years old. I feel embarrassed begging for money but sometimes you need to reach out and ask for help. I know the logical answer is to "get up and get a job" but it's not that easy. I am unable to get a job until college starts and that will not help me with getting books for school. I applied for Financial Aid which will help cover some tuition but that will not cover my books. I am currently stressing out because I start school in about a month and have no idea how I will pay for the supplies I need. I promise I am not some lazy teenager who will spent this money on stupid stuff. I really need it so I can save it up for books. It would be really helpful if you could donate. Any amount will be appreciated, even $1. Thank you for your time!
