Hey! My name’s Thomas, I’m an 18 year old high school graduate who’s living in Asheville, NC. My family has always struggled financially. I’ve grown up in a house where there was always tension building up. Money can do crazy things to people. My family’s been in bankruptcy and we’ve been trying to pay off debt for years now. It’s hard. Most, if not all, of my money goes straight to my parents to pay for bills, groceries, and etc. I’ve never had the opportunity to actually save up. I’ve also grown up struggling with clinical depression and always feeling like i’d never amount to anything. I’ve never felt like my dreams could ever come true. I’ve always felt like i’d always fail and embarrass myself. I don’t want to be like that anymore. I want my dreams to come true and I want to succeed. I’ve been given the opportunity to go to college in Binghamton, New York. In New York, not only will I be able to start fresh with a new place, but I can expand my horizons too. I’ve been dreaming of becoming someone who works for themselves or someone who’s in charge of a business. There’s so many business opportunities in New York that could change my life and in return change my parents’ lives as well. I hate not having money to support my family. I want to be a Makeup Artist and there’s more cliental in New York than there is in Asheville. Binghamton Community College has housing available and I’ve already found a roommate, a good friend of mine, who is willing to let me live with him. Just getting me to New York is the tricky part when you have no money to get there, pay first months rent, get renters insurance, etc. It’s even harder when you don’t have  money to pay for the college you’re dying to attend. There’s nothing I want more than to build up my life in a positive manner, but I can’t do that when I’m stuck not able to go anywhere because of money. I know you’ve all had a dream before, a dream you weren’t able to obtain because sometimes life isn’t fair. It would mean the world to me if you would make my dreams come true by helping me get to New York to further my studies in Business, and help jumpstart my makeup artistry career, and a place to stay. 

Please help by donating, anything helps. I know there’s more serious stuff going on in the world but it would just mean the world to me if you would help fund my future and make my dreams come true.
