The reason why i need a grant is because i am going through a lot in my life right now, i attend the National Massage Therapy Institute.I have no income coming in for myself. I have payments that have to be made to my school every first of the month and is always worried about if they are going to put me out. I sometimes do not eat because I am either saving up for my bill every first of the month or have to keep the money in my pocket for transportation to get back and forth. I don't receive much help from my mother because she herself have school and bills she has to pay. I am barley making it every month just to stay in school. I have to sometimes ask my friends for money just so i can eat lunch sometimes or money to get the things i needs and struggling with. I really would appreciate this grant to help me finish school,make me a better person and have an career under by belt as an Swedish Massage Therapist and specializes in sports. Thank you and this will make a big change in my life.
