High schooler uses money she saved for college tuition to pay momâs rent By CNN Staff | February 16, 2021 at 2:18 AM CST - Updated February 16 at 2:18 AM
HOUSTON (CNN) - A high school senior from Houston who saved her mom from eviction using her college tuition money will be able to attend her dream school after all, thanks to donations from those moved by her story.
Alondra Carmona, 18, got accepted into her dream school, Barnard College, an Ivy League school in New York City, but she realized there was a gap in her financial aid package. The high school senior had a part-time job and was saving up money, but it wouldnât be enough.
As Congress debates a new COVID-19 aid package, millions of Americans are struggling to pay for rent, groceries, utilities and medical bills or to keep their small businesses from shutting down.
We know their needs are both large and urgent because they tell us about them. Since March, an American has started a COVID-related fundraiser on GoFundMe every two minutes.
It’s not something they do lightly. Asking for help is difficult. People do it when their needs are dire and they have nowhere else to turn. In fact, when the pandemic began, 1 in 3 fundraisers on GoFundMe were related to COVID-19, and the activity has persisted at an alarmingly high rate.
