I need your help...

Hello, my name is Josh Freeman.
I am 19 years old and I am attending Trent University in the Computing Systems program, and today is my 19th birthday, but I got some upsetting news. I just completed my first semester of University and it was a struggle for me, not just the academics strain, emotional strain, but also financial strain. I have been living off ramen noodles and my school's meal plan. I had no money for activities or even for emergencies. I am now headed into my 2nd semester of school and my student loans and my savings will not cover my academic fees. I have asked my Mom for too much money already ($1200 to be exact and I really can't ask for anymore, I already feel bad enough and we were actually up crying all night once we figured out I didn't have enough) and I hate to beg for money but I really need you fellow steemit users to help me out. So I was just wondering if you kind souls could just upvote this and try to help me reach my goal so I can pay for it, to be honest if I don't reach this goal I will most likely have to drop out because I cannot afford it. I even had my Mom return some Christmas gifts so we can get some money back. I have applied for a job at the school to help get some spending money so I can survive but by the time I get the job (if I get it) the payment due date will be passed before I can even get my first paycheck. I really hate having to ask people for favors but can you please do me a solid and simply upvote this in the chance that I can help fund my education and to give my Mom some peace of mind. I am also willing to accept any tips from others to help raise money. Thank You all so much in advanced, even if you don't upvote, thanks for taking the time to read my story. If anyone replies I will gladly upvote to help them out as well, and if you have any questions or if you want to talk more about my life just reply and I will get to it as soon as possible.

Long Story Short; if you kind people could please upvote this and/or give me tips on how to raise money I would be forever grateful. Reposts are also appreciated very much. Thank you.
