Secret #8601: Ive read several secrets about students losing financial aid, and always dismissed them as melodramatic, that is, until a similar situation hit close to home. One of my closest friends was denied aid for the spring 2015 semester and was notified less than a week before school starts (monday). Hes already living in his dorm. His family is not well off; he only lives with his mother all the way back in Minnesota. He is short on tuition by $7864 - and that fact that NYU doesnt see that as detrimental is INSANE. Jeremy, thats his name, is one of the most talented, effervescent people Ive ever met. Hes an acting major in Tisch, he worked as a summer RA, and currently works in the Resource Center. He does nothing but give his all in everything he does, and seeing him this distraught just kills me. So my a cappella group, of which Jeremy is a member, has created this gofundme. We need to raise $7864 by MONDAY. You might think its impossible, but I think we can do it, with everyones help. Think about it: if 315 people gave $25, wed be all set. But you dont have to give $25 - you can give as little as $1 and it would still matter. Please please please help us out! I know NYU Secrets is not the best form of fundraising, but I guess that just shows how desperate we are. Thank you so much everyone. Really. gofundme/km7x54
