Matthew Lanwell sent a message to Richard Anderson that said:
Hi Richard (or Rich, if you\'d like to be called),
I\'m a person who has worked hard to get where I am. At the age of 18, I\'m already going bald from stress. I thought I could tackle university all by myself and that was naive of me.
When I told my mom that I couldn\'t handle university along with the stress of working full time, she wept from disappointment. She was disappointed in herself because she has seen the hard days I\'ve gone through, and wishes she could take care of some of my expenses. Sadly her pay simply isn\'t good enough to support us both.
I\'m $10,000+ in debt already just from student loans. I won\'t be going back to school this fall as I\'m already broke 3 times over. I found a cheap place with a few people I don\'t know, in a city I\'ve only ever passed through.
From there I suppose it\'s full-time work for a year or two, until I can afford my second year of university. And over again until I finish my Bachelor of Science degree.
Well, Rich, here\'s the part where I get down on my virtual knees. Any money you donate will be graciously invested in life\'s great necessities, such as coffee, rent, and internet (the only 3 things I need to survive).
I\'ve set up a paypal account using this very e-mail address; that is \'matthewlanwell@gmail.com\'.
Or if you\'d prefer a different means of transfer, I\'m happy to oblige.
Feel free to ignore this as well, but any donation you make will surely spare me much stress and sadness.
- Matt
