Financial Aid Appeal Letter

Hi,

I have to go appeal but I honestly dont know what to write/where to start. It purely stress from facing eviction (Dad feel behind on rent), sudden death of a family member(22yr cousin) and from a visit to the emergency room they found a nodule in one of my lungs, this freaked me out. I was not OK, but it all sounds like excuses and I honestly feel like I’d be wasting my time and theirs by appealing.

I want to emphasize on the fact we were able to stay in our home ( a two year process, lots of paperwork) but I was not involved and this worries me a bit. I am involved now cause I work more days/put money towards rent. The nodule turned out to be scarring from a previous case of pneumonia.

I just dont know. This happened two years ago. I want to go back part time so as to not interfere with my work schedule and be OK both academically and financially.

Does it sound like something they’d understand, or call it ‘not enough’?

TIA
