A man and his wife want to attend the University of Phoenix so he can get a master’s degree in counseling.  His wife will be studying psychology.  They have two kids.  In order to fund their education and lifestyle, the couple have decided to send out a mass email looking for people who will provide monthly support for two years while they study.

It might be a bit surprising that they need this help since they own a home, currently on the market for $715,051.  When he left his last job his severance package included one year’s salary of $138,000 and he retained royalty rights to numerous books he had written.

Yet, his desire to further his education and help those less fortunate tugs at the heart strings.  Especially since this man is Ted Haggard.
