Hi 💕 💕

So last month I was accepted into my dream school with a scholarship in creative writing!! Unfortunately, I owe past due tuition at another school that I attended for literally one day years ago. With this debt unpaid, I am not able to receive my transcripts proving my withdrawal from that school which I need in order to register for classes this Fall. On top of that my account has been placed with the Attorney General’s Office of my state.

Over the past few weeks, I’ve raised 300 dollars and I am so grateful. Please keep reblogging and boosting and donate if you can! Every little penny counts! 💕💕
