I need a student loan. i am a single mom. please help. legitmate lenders only. no scammer?

I am a single mom of 2 girls on of which is disabled. I filed my FAFSA,and then today i found out that had to do an appeal and it will take 4-6 for a decision,then if that is approved I have to file for special cirstances whichs takes 3-4 more week. I asked the financial aid office for a list of private loan lenders and they refused to help me until my appeal is decided on. I attend a community college and am having a difficult time finding a lender for my school. I have a co-signer ,but no one who is willing to loan me money in my family. I have found many scammers on here. Any real legitimate help please. Thanks
