My son is scheduled to go to college in October. I have no money to pay for it. He has been working and volunteering in his field of study. His major will be in Entertainment Business, and he will minor in Show Production and Touring. He volunteers at a comunity theater where he has built sets, designed the lights, hung th lights ran the light board, been the assistant stage manager, ect. If he can not go to college it will be devistating. He has been accepted to Full Sail Real World Education in Orlando Fl.
After he graduates from Full Sail with a Bachalors degree he wants to go on to get a Masters degree.
For 8 years I was a stay at home mom and my husband was the bread winner then in 1999 he left that job to try to start are own business. We went thru our savings that year and we couldn't make a go of the business as we ran out of funds. He then had a hard time finding employment as he does not have a degree and very few companies want to hire him for the upper level management jobs because of this. Although he has been in upper level managment.
Although I had gone back to work I didn't make much as I did not have a college degree and still don't make that much. 3 years ago we lost our house to brankruptcy and forclosure. 2 years ago while my husband was unemployed he had a heart attack at the age of 42. We still have unpayed medical bills from then. My husband also suffers from depression.
In another 2 years my daughter will be ready for college.
This cycle needs to be broken, the only way to break it is for my children to be able to go to and finish college.
Are main needs are to have money for both children to go to college and then having enough to pay down some of our debt.
