Help me pay for a college education

Hi, My name is Richard Sirico and I am currently a Freshmen at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. I have been struggling to pay for college this whole year. The next tuition payment is due soon and I don't know where the money is coming from.   I am living with my dad and step-mom and times are tough for the whole family. My mom is living 700 miles away in New York and she too is struggling. The financial struggles made it impossible for me to apply for an student loans outside of government loans in which I have already taken out the max that a Freshmen could, $5,500.   Thank you to all who donate, I means the world to me. The fact that you are willing to give to those in need is very meaningful to me.
