“Receiving money for school would give me security in my future, which is something that cancer took away. If I am awarded financial aid for school, I could divert my resources elsewhere, such as my outstanding medical expenses. This would significantly ease the burden of monitoring my cancer, and enable me to start saving money for the next steps in life. It would also allow me to focus mentally on my schoolwork rather than on my financial stresses.”
