Help a Local Man Go to Culinary School

Rosanna Mennone's boyfriend needs your help and she is raising funds through GoFundMe.

Rosanna Mennone is raising money via the GoFundMe Web site to help send her boyfriend to culinary school.

According to the page on GoFundMe, last year, he up his mind to finally make a dream of his come true. He went to the school, took a tour, filled out paperwork, and applied for financial aid using FAFSA. Several weeks later he received a letter in the mail notifying him that he did not qualify for financial aid because he never enlisted in the draft between the ages of 18 and 26.

The page states, "He works hard, but was recently laid off from his job. He is a full time father who wants to give his children everything they deserve and more. He wants to be able to provide for his family and pursue his dreams, but he just can't afford school on his own. He would be eternally grateful for any help!"

So far, $100 has been raised. To donate to the cause, visit the GoFundMe page.
