Jenny's Mom Was Going To Pay For College. Then Came The Cancer Diagnosis.

Jenny is an incoming college freshman. She's worked more than 30 hours a week throughout high school, waiting tables at a Korean barbecue restaurant, saving everything she could.

Her mother had always planned to help with college. It was their plan together. Then her mom was diagnosed with cancer.

Now that plan is gone.

Jenny's parents divorced when she was young. Her father's income goes to caring for her sick grandfather, and it disqualifies her from financial aid. She falls through every crack in the system.

She watches her paychecks disappear the moment they arrive. $180 for orientation. $450 for housing. Money she earned on her feet for hours, gone in an instant.

She is scared. Not of the hard work. She already knows how to work. She is scared that no matter how hard she tries, it will not be enough. That she will have to choose between keeping up with her classes and keeping up with her bills.

Jenny is not asking for a handout. She is asking for a chance. A chance to go to college without the constant fear of falling behind. A chance to focus on her future while her mother fights for hers.
