Raising Funds to Payoff a Debt

I urgently need funds to pay for two courses I completed in order to attain a B.A. I earned a couple thousand dollars working a temporary position and am currently working a full-time position that pays $10 an hour. The college sent the debt to collection without giving a specific deadline date in advance and interest accrued.

I'm currently employed but I need as much funds as soon as possible.

Of course, millions of people way worse off than me; I'm grateful that I have a roof over my head, food, clothes, and a safe place to sleep. At the same times, this debt is really a hindrance to professional goals and its important to pay it off soon so I can move forward.

Note: I need about $2,500 but I put 3,000 as the goal to try and offset what the site deducts from received donations. I'd be grateful if the donations at least reach $1,000-2,000--even $500 would be of assistance. Thank you to anyone that generously contirbutes.
