Hello, anyone who knows me in real life knows that the situation must be dire if I’m asking for donations. I’m in my senior year of college and I’m just a little bit short of my tuition. I’ve copy/pasted my story below if you don’t feel like clicking on the link right away:
“Hello! My name is Vivian Phillips and I’m currently a senior at Agnes Scott College. I’m a psychology major and a creative writing minor. The goal of graduating from Agnes Scott has been the work of my blood, sweat, and many tears for the last 4 years. In my freshman year, I had to take medical leave which was my first speed-bump. From 2013 to today I’ve been diligently working on my health with doctors, medication, therapists. personal journals, and my family.
In 2015, when I tried to apply back to Agnes but I didn’t have enough credits to be a transfer student. So I took classes at Georgia State as a part-time student while working two jobs to support myself and save up enough re-apply back to Agnes Scott. That was my second-speed bump.
Finally, in fall of 2016, I was able to return as a transfer student junior at Agnes Scott and the bit of money I had saved up was enough to get me through my junior year at Agnes Scott College. And I excelled with a GPA of 3.2!
But now here is my third (and hopefully last) speed-bump. To go to Agnes Scott the tuition is $37,236 a year. Through scholarships, loans, my personal savings, and help from family; I’ve been able to pay off a good chunk of it. But unfortunately, I am $13,980 short and school starts for me on August 20th. There’ve been some personal setbacks, such as the ailing health of my beloved grandmother and of course, my medical bills. I’ve made the base goal $5000 dollars so that I can at least keep my classes as long as I remain as a commute-er student for this fall semester. I’d like to live on campus because then I’d have a nice dorm to stay in and three square meals a day from the dining hall, but if that is not possible I will be fine and will be glad to at least keep my classes and be able to continue my education.
GoFundMe is truly my last resort. I’ve exhausted all of my options. There’s nothing in the world I want more than to finish my Bachelor Degree in Spring 2018. Once I graduate I have a lot of plans ahead for myself, I’d like to go graduate school and get my Ph.D. in Racial Psychology. However, that goal will be put at a stand still if I’m unable to graduate from Agnes Scott. God bless you for any donations you’re able to give and if you’re unable, please find a few minutes to share my story. Either by donating or sharing you’re helping a young black woman finish her education.”
Tumblr has helped me before and I’m hoping it can help me again. If you cannot donate please, please reblog. Every little bit helps, thank you!
Hello BunnyRibbit Followers, yeah that’s me. I’m reblogging this because I have more followers on here than my personal. Please reblog if you can. I’m also looking for possible co-moderators because if this falls through I’m probably going to be on tumblr a lot less. Please IM me if you’re interested. I’m sorry to post this everybody, but I’m really desperate. I’ve done everything I can and I’m really scared. I don’t want all of my hard work to have been for nothing.
Also if you want me to work for your donations I absolutely will. I will do Pay What You Want writing commissions, it doesn’t have to be Overwatch related but it can if you want it to. Thank you, everyone.
