I am currently attempting to do my masters degree in Health Psychology. Though due to a mistake with my funding neither myself or my uni have received any funds!

This means right now I face deregistering and not being able to continue on my course.

Although the university is sympathetic as it was not my fault and I am doing everything I can to sort it out they still require half of my tuition fee by the end of November.

The process for getting the funding mistake rectified is going to take time that I do not have.

My generous family and friends have contributed what they can and I am working as many hours as possible to earn extra cash but I am still not going to reach my total of £4500.

I know its not a charity I am asking you to support and it's not a usual thing to do. I am hoping to complete this masters to work with chronically ill patients to manage their pain and illness and support them to be able to complete their everyday basic needs that you and I don't think twice about, like walking to the shop to get a paper.

I chose this Masters because I want to give back to my community at a greater level and don't want money to be the reason I can't.

If you feel able to help in any way (I know times are tough for everyone) I would really appreciate it.
