Essen
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Essen State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,000. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class average, and my academic advisor has written in support of my application for a payment plan. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility. I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then help the next student. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $3,000 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $195 • Exam and lab fees: $165 • Final term tuition: $2,640 With deep gratitude, Daniel

              Hope things get better soon, Daniel. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

              • Stella Harris

                Hope things get better soon, Daniel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. All the best.
