My family has severe financial issues right now. My grandfather has been in the hospital for the last week will be in the hospital for another week, and will be in rehab for 2 months after being on his death bed. Because his wife (of 3 years) has stolen every cent he has to the point where he hasn't been able to pay his bills for years, and certainly wont be able to pay his hospital bills. At the same time, my mother (along with the rest of the nationwide company she works for) was laid off without warning.
My parents have told me not to worry about my grandfathers hospital bills, but they have told me that my education for the next year will be difficult to obtain. My parents have never been able to afford to send me to school, and now that my mom doesn't have a job they really cant.

So in short; I'm scared. I desperately want my degree, and because its math/science based its not something I can drop and just return to later because those credits expire.
