I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Berlin State College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,000.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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 $4,000 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $260
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,600
• Final term tuition: $2,140
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Turin but we're thinking of you.
Wishing you peace, Heinz. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. All the best
Hang in there. Study hard! After 18 years in social work I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care.
