My name is Chris and I am 25 yrs old and am trying to finish my undergrad degree in business so I can provide a good life for my family.  I am married with 2 sons, ages 2 1/2 and 14 months old and my wife is again pregnant!  We try very hard to be super frugal and do everything possible to stay out of debt, but while having a family and attending college it is not always easy to pay for high tuition and expensive textbooks.  We have $7,000 in student loans already and I have another year and a half to complete my degree, and that is if I take 15-18 credits a semester, which I am deadicated to do while working fulltime.  I am committed and value my education and while working fulltime and having a family, I still work hard to get excellent grades and currently have a GPA of over 3.85.

  I love my family and my wife and I are old fashioned and want my wife to stay home with our children so I work fulltime and go to school fulltime.  I am asking for just a little help, so that my family will not suffer with debt over our heads when I finish my degree.  I want the best for my children and I know it is so important for me to obtain my degree.  So I live my life working towards that and trying to keep my family out of debt.  My wife and I value each and every dollar we receive and any donations of any small amount will be GREATLY appreciated.  We thank our Heavenly Father for every blessing we receive and any donation we receive would definitely be a blessing in our lives.  If you can help in any small way, we would never waste a penny and we would put it directly towards paying for my education.  If you have an extra $1, please know that it would go to a great cause and another American would be able to finish a college degree and provide for their family.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post and God bless.

My name is Chris Stopczynski and I am 25 years old living in the Raleigh, NC area.  I grew up in the UP (upper MI) and also in Boise, ID.  After graduating high school, I went and served a mission for my Church in NY and I was there during 9/11.  My wife and I met and knew we were supposed to get married and we were married in 2003.  We want to have a big family and love children and so we had our first child in 2004 and our second in 2005.  My wife had a miscarriage a few months ago but we are grateful because she just became pregnant again with our third child. 

While having a growing family, I currently attend college at NC State University and am working on my undergrad degree in Business Management and Marketing.  To support my family while I attend college, I work fulltime as a Field Manager for a cabinet distributor.  I value my education and work hard to obtain good grades and have over a 3.85 GPA.  My goal is to finish my degree and become a home builder one day so that I can have a job where I can spend lots of time with my family.

Personal interests I have are my family of course, I love the house building process and learning about new techniques and ideas builders use, I enjoy running and hope to run a marathon someday when I finish college, and I enjoy hunting a great deal.  I like living in NC but I miss living out west and being able to hunt big game.
