Tim St. Onge has a disease called Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa, which causes his skin to become fragile and has already contributed to this loss of his hands. Since his disease is so serious it has caused him to become behind in his classes and in need of aides for assistance. He has attended St. Lawrence for five years and is currently working on his sixth, which when complete he will officially be a junior. Although he is making great progress the Board of Education at SLU will not let him continue his education without paying for room and board. Tim already has to pay for his medications and has been attending St. Lawrence for five years. Due to the kindness of the university he has been allowed to stay on campus to finish his incompletes for the past three semesters without cost because he was considered an unregistered student. However this arrangement can no longer be offered to him. This is a petition in support of President Fox and the Tolliver the Dean of Residential Life in creating a special circumstance to register Tim to continue his education as a registered student for next semester in order to allow him to stay on campus. Please sign and give your support to your fellow classmate that hasn't let his disease hold him back from getting an education.
We are gaining momentum and heading toward the one hundred signature mark that will show the board how many people believe in Tim. Please send this link to others right now so we can hit that goal before we present our case to the administration.

Seeing the count climb this quickly for Tim shows how much this campus cares about him. Please post this link to your own social media pages right now to help us break through the five hundred mark before we meet with the administration.

Seriously? After everything he has been through? SLU needs to do the right thing and help him out.

Tim is such an inspiration and he deserves to finish his degree. This is just wrong.

The school should be proud of him for not giving up and should support him instead of putting more stress on him.

Ridiculous that they would kick him out now. Let the guy stay and finish what he started.
