19-year-old school graduate finds out older sister spent her college fund on her step-children's private school tuition, causing the family to divide: 'My grandparents are heartbroken but can’t just pull that money out of nowhere again'

Imagine working tirelessly for years with the sole hope of attending the university of your dreams. 

The time has finally come to make the big-girl request for your college fund, the most precious stack of savings, carefully set aside for this very purpose, a key puzzle piece in turning your dream into a reality. But in an instant, it all comes crashing down, your dreams are shattered before your eyes, like a dropped piggy bank on the floor beneath you: The fund is empty, not even a cent to its name. 

How could this happen?

Well, your older sister decided that her new stepchildren's private school tuition was more important and that she would pay it back eventually. The 'trusted and responsible' sister has just ripped away your future from under you, and the worst part, she doesn't see the problem with her selfish acts. 

The family is divided, making it even harder to find support as you navigate your newly-found heartbreak. And now, here you are…stuck without a college fund, forced to decline your acceptance into college and left with a sister who thinks she's done no wrong…ouch!
