Lancers Keep Learning Funding Request: We are going through a difficult moment with the economy in my family. As we all know, work has gone down everywhere, and things have gotten more expensive. My mom was working in a factory, and unfortunately, she was laid off. My dad
and I have taken care of the household expenses. I work part-time because I'm studying, and I need time for my classes; because I work part-time, I need to receive more money I need to help my parents with all the household expenses. I pay for school, some bills, and what I need. My dad takes care of most household responsibilities while my mom finds a new job. Today, we owe the electricity bill three months behind in rent. I talked with one of the staff members and asked for help applying for scholarships and getting some money to pay tuition. I didn't know about this application, and he told me about it. Immediately, I thought that it could help me a lot, and if I received any help, I could use the money I would use to help my dad with rent and bills. I could pay for college because I also owed $800 for school. I am also applying for scholarships and trying to save money. I'm sacrificing myself right now because next semester is my last semester. I'm about to achieve the goal and don't want to give up now.

Lancers Keep Learning Funding Request: I need assistance paying rent Feb. my check was short due to me missing work days to take care of my sick child, and in this day and age, all sick children are sent home from school. Because they feel that everything is related to COVID-19, I missed five days of work because of a common cold.

Education is a powerful tool for transformation, and we're on a mission to ensure that every student can access it. Supporting the Lancers Keep Learning Emergency Fund can make dreams come true. Let's break down barriers and create opportunities!

Lancers Keep Learning Funding Student Request: Our water bill has increased a lot due to an unknown leak we cannot find, and our landlord still needs to come to fix it. It keeps leading to our bill increasing on usage, and we thought we had paid it off. We have a large account we cannot pay soon and are afraid our water might get turned off.
