I make less than $2,000 a month, working at my local library. I'm dedicated to promoting literacy in my community and reaching out to those who are lapsed or reluctant readers. I run a book club for students in 4-6th grade. I'm planning a city-wide read and a book club for high school students who stay after school.
To get this far, I completed my undergraduate education and attended one semester of graduate school. I left because the curriculum focused more on computers than books. I can't go back now, even if I change my mind, because my student loan payments are high enough as it is and I refuse to take out more. You donate millions of dollars to charities and causes around the world. What if you donated to college students like me? Students who are working as hard as they can, 40 hours a week, doing jobs they love but getting paid just enough to get by? What about us?
Sincerely,
Darlene

I love you. I wish I could have our debts erased.
I felt like I was reading my own thoughts. Student loans suck. Underpaying jobs that we're overqualified for also suck.
