Jocelyn is the most hardworking, kind-hearted, intelligent person I’ve ever gotten the opportunity to meet. She is currently in her fifth and final year of college (for Psychology, Biochemistry, and Instrumental Music Performance), she’s currently interning at the AIDS Project of Central Iowa, and she was recently a guest performer in the Des Moines Symphony. She has plans to attend graduate school immediately after college. Since 15, she’s been working to save enough money for her own education (as her father passed away and mother suffers from schizophrenia) and it seems to have paid off really well until recently.

A few nights ago, when returning from doing some volunteer work for the AIDS Project, she was brutally assaulted by two men. These men are potentially acquainted with her former fiancé, though there still isn’t sufficient evidence to press charges. Though her professors are more than understanding, the school still requires $18,500 by May in order for Jocelyn to graduate, even after five years of commendable academic achievement and consistently paying her tuition. Jocelyn, her friends, as well as myself have brainstormed any possible solutions as to how she could raise this money in such a short time frame. We have been made known that she is ineligible for further student loans because of regulations towards out-of-state students that have been recently implemented.

While Jocelyn has enough to cover most of the remaining tuition, she now has to consider how she will pay for the several required medical procedures (the primary procedure being reconstructive jaw surgery), especially considering that she cannot work in her condition. We have both sold or pawned some of our most valuable possessions in hopes that we could at least come close to what she might expect to pay, but thus far, have only gotten a bit more than $1,000. We need help so that Jocelyn can have the future she’s worked so hard to attain. I can’t bear to see her in this condition and to know that she has to make the choice getting back her beautiful smile or getting her education. Please help.

- A sympathetic best friend
