This money will be used for my tuition, housing, mandatory insurance, textbooks, food, personal expenses basically most of the bill my schools gonna charge me. And I really dont have the money to pay much of it.



This isn't just about me finishing college. Without this degree I have nothing I can do. Absolutely nothing. Please, I really need this help.



In Jan 2018 my dad died from cancer. 4 months after diagnosis. He was the sole provider for a family of 3 and my parents dedicated their entire lives putting me through a "good" education because they didn't want their handicapped son to be looked down on. He and my mom lived only for that. And we were always afraid because if something happened to dad, that would be game over. And here is my mom and I. It having happened. What's unfortunate is that he unintentionally left us with business debt which is something I'm going to have to pay back slowly.



I have 2 years of college left and no way to pay for it. I'm already on a substantial scholarship from my school which makes this option the cheapest. We all know how much scholarships transfer students get. Especially international students. It's also difficult for me to go to cheaper Korean universities because I don't meet their requirements be it language or the high school courses required. What's more the amount of student loans I can get is very limited because I'm an international. I would have done so in a heartbeat if I could cover my tuition with loans. That's how desperate I am.



Its also impossible for me to go out there and get a proper job. I'm moderately handicapped on my hands and leg. That means I can't do any labor related jobs, I can't go to trade schools or do trade jobs, and I can't even be a doctor even if I wanted to. But what I can do is a desk-job. And I need this degree if I want to get one good enough to take care of my mom when she's older.



My mom's working as a professional baby sitter and I'm working as a TA at a prep school right now and that's the best we can do . But she's getting on in years and I only have this job because I'm a current student on a gap year from a decent school. This can't last long nor am I making anywhere near enough to even put a dent in my tuition.



Its not just about finishing this school. Going to NYU was really the only real way I could actually find footing out there in the world. Believe me when I tell you, Korean society is not very generous to handicapped people like me. I've been treated like a normal person in the states and that really showed me how much better I could have it in a welcoming place like the States. So please.



I know this isn't about me promising to become a good person who will help many people when I grow up. And I know its a lot to ask but without this I don't see myself becoming anything or anyone in the future. So please. Any amount will be greatly appreciated.
