I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Catania Polytechnic, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,150. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my faculty supervisor 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. The payment will go directly to the Catania Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $2,150 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $710 • Final term tuition: $1,050 • Exam and lab fees: $220 • Textbooks and materials: $170 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Massimo

    is there anything that isn't money that would help Massimo?

    • Massimo MazzaOwnerAnswer

      Thank you. If you're in Catania I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great.

  • Cora R. Webb

    Thanks for sharing this, Massimo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.

    • Mateus Miguel Dias

      Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      • Charlene J. Smith

        Thinking of you. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in São Paulo but we're thinking of you.

        • Ebuka Adewale Salami

          You're not alone, Massimo. This could happen to any of us. Blessings.

              Keep going, Massimo. Study hard! Wish I lived closer to Uppsala so I could bring a meal.
