I am the primary caretaker for my child who was a victim of a crime in 06′ that left him blind and chronically disabled. I have been able to hold off the student loan wolves through deferments. Now, the well runs dry and they are thirsty again.
Are there forgiveness programs for caretakers?
Are there cases where one can effectively lobby personally and have there loans written off?
Please help

Hi,
I was browsing through your blog parentstudentloans.wordpress.com and found very interesting contents on money and finance which are pretty informative. I was hoping I could write a guest post on your blog with an article related to your blog, I believe this will be of interest to your readers.
The article will be entirely unique, written just for your blog and will not be posted elsewhere. I hope I can produce informative and viscid content for you. If you’re interested in this idea, please get back to me.
Thank you so much for your time and consideration.
Best,
Pablo

Andrew Ross, Professor at NYU, is only one of many intelligent, educated people interested in seeing all student loan debt written off and public higher education made available to everyone, regardless of their ability to pay. Please visit http://www.occupystudentdebtcampaign.org for more information on this campaign. Many thanks to all.
