I’m a single mother and full-time college student currently facing a short-term financial emergency and could really use assistance or resources.

I’m pursuing my degree in Statistics and attending summer session full-time while also preparing for foot surgery on June 5th, after which I will be unable to work normally for about 3 months during recovery.

I currently have several essential bills overdue or at risk:

$439 electric bill (second shutoff notice and can't do a payment plan)

$162 internet bill (at risk of disconnection)

$71 student account charge for required course materials

$169.99 required Cengage textbook/access fee

I work driving Uber, but it has not been enough to cover the overdue expenses. I may have an electronics assembly job opportunity after my recovery, but I am currently trying to stay stable through surgery and recovery. We have rent and food covered but these lingering bills are scaring me!

I received Pell Grants and Return 2 Learn scholarships, which covered most of my tuition, but I did not receive a typical refund this summer term that I normally rely on for living expenses.

I am not expecting anyone to cover everything. Any suggestions, advice, or resources would be greatly appreciated.

Anywhere to do homework that's open late?

College student drowning in bills!
