Deadbeat Dad Dilemma

Hi, my name is Sarah, and I am a freshman at the University of Richmond. I plan on majoring in business. I could go on and on about myself, but I want to start out by saying why I have come to this site. My parents divorced when I was very young, so I live with my mother. My father has refused to pay for any part of my college education. He is truly what many people call a deadbeat dad. For anyone else who has had a parent like this, I'm sure you know how hard it is to deal with someone like that. My mother recently became unemployed, even though she was already being payed very little, which has created financial hardships for me and my two sisters. We live with my grandmother, because we can't afford to live anywhere else. On a lighter note, I am very excited to be going to college, but still nee help finding the funds to pay for it. I have exhausted a numerous amount of resources and am now turing to Indiegogo and all of the generous and kind people on the internet for help. Even though most people on this site probably don't know me, I would hope that you could, out of the kindness of your heart, help me with my college finances.
