I lost my job on August 26th. My employer refused to let me take any work samples. After 11 years in my industry, I’m having to start my career over.

I have ~$75k in student loans. I will default soon. My cosigner, my father, will be forced to take my loans.

He will default as well.

I’ve ruined my family. Because I tried to rise above my class.

My family is the 99%.

The 99% is my family.
