My name is Colette and I am a 57-year-old woman who has been working hard to improve my life by going back to college and will be graduating with AOS degree in mind/body psychology. Unfortunately, I have encountered a roadblock, as my Volvo s40 had fuel pump go out while i was driving. This has left me car-less for weeks now making life extremely difficult for me. I work to pay for basic necessities, including rent, living expenses while in school full-time, which school also requires funding for necessary things.

I am reaching out for dire help because I do not want to risk losing all the progress I have made in my education. I have been studying to become a certified clinical hypnotherapist, something that is a passion of mine, and i believe is my purpose in life. I am determined to complete my degree and trying to graduate with honors. However, I am currently faced with the reality that my lack of funds could lead to me not being able to finish school and move on to the next chapter of my life.

I NEED HELP ASAP !! My beautiful RED VOLVO s40 had to be towed to mechanic shop, for replacement of fuel pump and overdue tune-up. Plus while stranded on side of highway, while i went to get help, someone broke the little triangular security window on passenger side (most expensive window to replace). I haven't been able to pick up from mechanic shop, Urban Automotive, since ready for pick up almost 3 weeks. I am doing ALL I possibly can, even selling my plasma to earn money, but without any family alive to help me, being a solo act iin life now, i just dont have enough. I am in my residency at school, plus working as much as I possibly can, when not in classes or seeing clients. My dire situation has brought me here pleading to kind and generous strangers for help. My goal is to secure enough funding to cover my car repairs and some pertinent school/residency items, (hypnothetapist insurance, working laptop, mine has died, making my Zoom classes and residency probono client sessions impossible) and basic living expenses so that I can concentrate on my studies and finish my degree. This is a huge blow to me because I have always been self-sufficient, and the thought of not being able to provide for myself is very difficult to accept. 

I am seeking only $3500 to cover my mechanic bill and school expenses. This amount would ensure that I have the necessary means to pay for rent, food, and basic essential items.
