Please help me obtain my degree Campaign

Good day.

I'd like to start by introducing myself,My name is Cynthia Maphakathi. I'm from North West I'm currently 25 years old. 
I need help with money for rent or accommodation to obtain my NQF 5 in information technology that I can use to finally get my degree. 
 
My story, I completed matric in 2015, passed and ever since then I've been trying to get a job and live a normal life but that wasn't my plan. I always wanted to be a technician or programmer but due to subjects that where offered back then technology was never one of them. And with the lack of knowledge I had about university requirements, I ended up choosing subjects that are not relevant for any Information Technology course. I thought of working and paying my own fees while I start my journey to study information technology but learned that in the town I'm from we have institution but apparently none of which offers technician matric. So I did research and I found a skills development facility in jhb that offers a few courses and it's free and legit! The course have credits/ points meaning when I complete the 10 months course, I'll be able to apply to university and get a bursary to obtain my bachelor or masters in Information technology, and my aim is to pass very well cause I want to study at WITS, I get butterflies everytime I think of WITS, so I have a big smile on my face right now just thinking about it. 
 
The institution is based in JHB and I'm born and bred in NW, I don't have any family or people I know in JHB and if I'm being honest I wont be able to pay rent for 10 months. I've been looking for cheap rooms or flats, I don't want anything fancy or expensive and if being more honest I don't mind sleeping on the floor for 10 months because I'm looking at the bigger picture in the long run which is me finally being the first child of both my parents (May they rest in peace) to go to university and probably the first person in my family to be a technician and actually follow or get one of their dreams come true. 
 
The institution is called Believers Care Society and it is based in turffontien, I must go early January to register, I'm not sure when classes will start so to be safe I'll run this donation till 25th Jan, I hope that will be long enough. 

With the funds raised I'll be able to pay rent in advance for atleast 5 months and get needed utilities like a bed, stove, kettle and pots, the accommodation will not be far from the institution so therefore I will be able walk to and from. Buy needed stationary like notebooks, textbooks etc.
 I also plan on getting a job while studying so that I can be able to use the salary to pay rent monthly or in advance for the remaining 5 months and also buy food and to make it a bit easier to study without stressing about stuff that are out of my control, I will be selling perfumes. 

But this is all just a dream for now, but with your help we can make my dream a reality.
 
With that said please help me by donating and change my life for good. 
Thank you for reading and thanks in advance for your help, Be blessed!
