Future mechanic

Hey world! My name is Pat and I'm a 20yo girl from Pittsburgh looking for some help with my schooling; I'm currently enrolled at Rosedale tech in their auto tech program, something I'm having to do on my own since my mother passed 7years back&my father was never really in the picture. At the end of my 16month course at Rosedale, excluding my Pell Grant&Pittsburgh promise scholarship, I'll be in debt almost $18000, not including the money I'm going to have to save in that time to get proper tools that I'll need for my job..so I thought I'd give one of these community fund raising sites a go in the hopes that some generous souls will come forward with a helping hand-- anything helps, even if all you can spare is $5 it'd still be a blessing.

**10% of what I ultimately raise+anything above my goal will be split and donated to the greater Pittsburgh community food bank & the harvest Christian fellowship church of Reston,VA.
