She moved from Ohio to pursue a degree at Wayne State. Unfortunately her hopes of residing with her partner and completing graduating seems to be coming to a halt due to the ending relationship. She will be forced to move out soon and she does not have anywhere to go. Her financial aid has been used to help pay rent in the place she was living with my partner. She works part time in a conjoint effort to support their living. Her efforts alone will not be sufficient to sustain living. She is greatly motivated in continuing education and her degree here. However if she is  not able to find a place to stay she will be left with no option but to drop her classes in which she has worked very hard, go back home and transfer.

Her current residence is unsuitable for continued living. She currently resides with her aunt who is struggling financially and is behind in her own housing payments. Her aunt’s smoking and drinking habits, and those of her guests who constantly stay over, trigger her allergies and irritate her to extremes, physically and mentally, keeping her from being productive with school work. The visitors who stay over, in addition, go through her items when she is away at school and then lie to her about it when questioned. This behavior is allowed to happen by her aunt who owns the house even after she tells her about it. Additionally, these visitors disrespect her by calling her names, moving her items without permission, and playing loud music when she is studying despite her requests to stop. To help her and many such individuals, please donate on our website  highprogram.wayne.edu.

If he gets evicted from the campus housing he has no other housing options, which would prevent him from attending school. To help please  donate on  our website  highprogram.wayne.edu.
