I just want to say first, I hate asking for money. I\'m usually the first to give to those in need but I\'ve run out of money and need a lot of help. I also want to apologize for how long this is. You may have seen this on other charity sites but I can promise you I am not a scam and I am just trying to get out of debt and be able to live my life the way any 20 year old should be able to. I'd like to eat more than 5 days out of the week, I'd like to be able to change the oil in my car so it doesn't break down, and ultimately I'd love to go to school and become something great.

This is my story: I was adopted from South Korea when I was 3 months old, then when I was 15 my adopted parents divorced and my contact with my father was pretty much severed. I went on to live with my mother, struggling a bit but still pulling through. I started college when I graduated high school in 2004 but soon found out that I was bi-polar and very depressed after the divorce of my parents. I tried to commit suicide. I had to drop out of college to take care of myself and get myself on the right track. In early 2005 My mother was diagnosed with an extremely rare form of lung cancer. She had an operation to remove her lung, scrape the walls of her chest and diaphragm. In late summer \'05 I left for Orlando, FL to start culinary school, one of my dreams. In November 2005 my mother passed away and I came home to take over the house that she left me. I am basically an orphan again and I am in desperate need of money to fix my house, pay bills, and pay off my student loans. I no longer have a family to help me. My total debt is over $70,000 and I don\'t know what to do. The last thing I want is to lose the house that my mother left me, it\'s one of the only things I have left of her and I would die on the inside if I lost it. Please help me!
