Jennifer Coyle hasn't added a story.
My name is Jennifer Coyle. My kids and I are living in poverty. Public housing and food stamps are our way of life. We have been stuck like this for years, unable to get a leg up under us. The jobs in my town that pay a living wage are few and far between.
What I really want to do to get off of government assistance is get a bachelor's degree in accounting. It would be great to not only be able to support my family, but to also be a role model for my children. Show them that you can make your dreams come true if you work for it.
With your help, I can pay for the tuition for one semester. I will be attending Western Governor's University, which is an accredited online school. There are many scholarships and grants out there, but you have to already be attending school for most of them. To pay for the rest of my education, I will be applying for many grants and scholarships.
If you know what it's like to struggle, you know how it can affect every other aspect of your life. From applying for jobs based on whether they are on the bus route to not being able to get an abscessed tooth pulled because you can't get insurance, it can wreak havoc on your mental state. Depression and anxiety are magnified and uncontrollable at times. You always have to tell your child that you can't afford a frozen yogurt or even a toy from Goodwill.
Please contribute even $1 if you can. Every bit helps. Spread the word to your friends, family, acquaintances that my family and I need help. I appreciate any help you can give.
