"I had to work seven days a week, anywhere between 50 and 60 hours a week, as well as go to school fulltime. That was until I had to take time off work to have knee surgery. They started sending me the bills for everything before I was even able to walk again. I thought I might have to drop out. I did not think I was going to make it. I got an email that changed my life. I still owed $1,100 - $1,200 and you covered it all. I graduated because of you! I did my happy dance across the stage."

“I’ve been through so many money troubles while in college and tried to finish everything in my last year before I graduate. However, I needed to take a final summer class and an internship, but I had no idea how I would pay for it. You made it possible for me to finish my last year and graduate…when I found all of this out, I could have cried I was so happy.”
