I wish there is a way for me to produce more money but for now there is not much I can do, especially because I am working short hours due to my poor health. And the problem is – I need more money for my son’s education! It seems that I just cannot get enough and it is driving me crazy! I don’t want him to loose his college opportunity because of the money. He is such a smart kid…

I hope there is some way I could help you, but unfortunately, there is that old saying about the money and the world going around it, and it looks like we are all spinning along. And that means that most of the time we do not have enough of that cursed money for all of our needs, and/or our family member’s needs. But if he is also that willing to go to the college, then perhaps it is time for him to start thinking about some part time job.

Have you looked into a Pell Grant? Also Social Services looks fondly on a childs education. If your income will not permit you to pay the hugh tuition, social services sometimes will kick in, but your son will have to go to a Community College.
You mention that he is very smart, has he gotten ant kind of scholarship?
You also mention your poor health which puts limitations on your work schedule, Social Services may be able to assist you as well.
I know we all want the best for our kids, but sometimes it is just not feasable. He could always sit out for a few semesters and pay for it with his money that he saves from his own job. He should be able to pitch in and help.

There is a website that finds scholarships that are available to people who need them. I'm a college student, so I know how much it can cost. Fast Web.com --no spaces.
