My DACA has to be renewed every two years in order to continue working and not have fear of being deported while I attend UCSB. It has already been two years since my last renewal meaning that my renewal is this upcoming December. Through this renewal process I have to pay around five hundred dollars in application fees and transportation fees because the nearest U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services office is in Oxnard, where they have to take my biometrics as part of my application process. It is because of this that I am applying for the Community Financial Fund Grant because if I were to receive the maximum amount it would take a big financial burden off my shoulders but I would also be able to concentrate more on my studies instead of working myself tirelessly in order to afford my DACA renewal and still help my mother
