Hello, my name is Frankie my fundraiser is fairly new but I have shared
my fundraiser on LinkedIn, Nextdoor, and Facebook if possible I ask for
your help spreading awareness of my fundraiser even if your not in the
position to donate then just a simple sharing of my fundraiser will go a
long way. I currently started my application at California Institute of
Arts and Technology in San Diego, but since I’m in Fresno I joined the
online program. I was able to complete my first semester but after not
passing one of my classes I was charged for that class. I was eligible
for financial aid but unfortunately if a course is not passed then I’m
charged for that course. I’m not able to continue on to the next
semester until my debt from the previous semester is paid off. Every
other course I took I passed there was only one course I had struggled
passing and even though I had grants and scholarships they aren’t able
to be applied to the debt owed. It’s only able to be applied to my
admission cost which in turn would give me more financial aid. I tried
using the money from the grants to pay off the debt I had but I was
informed I couldn’t. So now I’m reaching out for help to pay off my
previous debt to continue on to my second semester so I can complete the
program and become a certified CompTIA engineer. There 5 CompTIA
certifications that I have to test for each test cost a few hundred
dollars, but with the school admission they provide me the opportunity
to take the tests as many times as I need to pass. They also don’t
charge me for failing any of the certification tests which is something a
lot of schools don’t provide, which is why I’m putting so much effort
into getting back in. If I were to try taking the tests on my own and
failed I’d be looking into spending a few thousand dollars on just
taking all 5 of the certification tests not including the test I may
have failed on. I do this to better my daughter and I life she’s 6 years
old and me and her mother aren’t together so I’m providing everything I
can for her on my own. I just want her to not want for anything and for
me to be capable of supplying her with everything she needs and wants. I
grew up with not a lot of money and I don’t want my daughter to have to
go through the same thing I went through as a kid. My parents did their
best but at times they would have to go without just to be able to
provide for me and my siblings and that’s not the life I want for my
daughter.
