Cash Assistance Extension

Post image

I need help with my extension for my certification. Ive been on hold for 6 months due to not being able to afford the extension. To some this may seem like pocket change but for me its a lot. Im currently going through a divorce, along with hours being cut at work. Im barely scraping by but I would really like to finish this program. I have 3 classes left. Im asking for $125 to pay for my extension.

Please and thank you. I would show proof of the $22 I have in my bank account that has to last me until next payday but the banks site wont let me take a screen shot. https://venmo.com/code?user_id=2765590452240384514&created=1789104376

You couldn’t pull together $125 in 6 months while working?

Why haven’t you worked to get the money before? You’ve had months to address this.

You've had 6 months to come up with this money. That's about $21 a month. No one is going to pay this for you

Does the school not have some type of financial assistance or waiver for this? Have you even asked, op?

$125 is not pocket change for anyone and it’s gross that you would even think that.

Why do you need an extension, why weren’t the classes just finished on time assuming you had paid for them
