Fuel to Help Sherrell get back and forth to school

Posted Sep 6, 2024
Sherrell has started her new academic year at SFSU. However, she is no longer eligible for Federal Financial Aid and is now relying solely on external scholarships and loans. The main challenge she's facing is that the school gave her more money than she was eligible for over the past 2 years, so she now owes money to the college. Any scholarship money she receives will be used to pay off this debt before she receives any leftover funds. Right now, Sherrell is struggling to meet her basic needs due to this debt situation. She's asking for support with gas money so she can continue to commute to and from her classes each week. This will ensure that Sherrell doesn't face any additional barriers to receiving her scholarships and loans once the debt is settled, as she'll be in class and able to complete assignments, thus avoiding any negative impact on her GPA and college progress. Additionally, having gas money will enable Sherrell to attend gym sessions on campus, participate in theater practice, fulfill club commitments, and much more.

Sherrell is 25 years old and lives in CA

Sherrell is an artsy, creative spirit full of energy and drive. Sherrell loves getting ready to go out on the town and spending time with family and friends. She has recently been putting much time back into herself. Sherrell would do anything for those she cares for and is learning to do the same for herself. She hasn't shared much about her foster care journey. However, it was difficult enough to where she took her own teenage niece in for a few weeks so that her niece wouldn't have to experience the system the way that Sherrell was forced to. Some of Sherrell's favorite things include finding the best pair of heels, singing, theater, and eating delicious foods. Sherrell currently attends SFSU and is working toward receiving a double major in both Theater and Public health.
