Funds for University Student

I am Fiona Fourie, currently a Psychology Honours student at Stellenbosch University in South-Africa. Throughout my studies I have applied for bursaries with very good grades (Cum-laude) but have never been accepted. I have therefore been studying on a loan (and re-applying for bursaries unsuccessfully each year) seeing as my parents cannot cover my costs. I am trying to raise funds for my living costs (housing) for this year seeing as the loan does not cover this. I have two part-time jobs (a tutor at my university and doing nails) but seeing as I cannot work full-time while doing my degree, I cannot cover all the cost. I have this really big dream of completing my Honours and going on to do my masters in Educational Psychology. My goal is to one day be able to work with the less fortunate youth to create strategies and interventions to advocate for their mental health seeing as these individuals are the future of our world. The youth needs educated groups of people to advocate for them, and I would like to be a part of that to ensure that their voices are heard, seeing as it has been and is still mostly silenced. The reason I am resorting to this platform is because I have tried every possible opportunity to get financial aid but have been unsuccessful and I really need the funds to be able to make my dream a possibility. I am therefore asking if anyone is able to contribute to my cause, even a little bit goes a long way, and it would mean the world to me.
