Josefa is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a diploma in hospitality management at Sacramento State College, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,200. The registrar has said Josefa can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Josefa has a first-class average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Josefa would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Josefa isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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 $4,200 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $240 • Final term tuition: $3,100 • Outstanding tuition balance: $860 Thank you so much. - Juan
