I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Aurora Community College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,500.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction average, and my professor 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 Aurora Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $3,500 goes:
• Final term tuition: $2,850
• Textbooks and materials: $320
• Exam and lab fees: $330
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Rachel
We're at 28% thanks to 30 of you. the first invoice got paid this week. More news soon.
Quick update: $986 raised so far (28%). I made the first payment toward exam and lab fees. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($299 in total) I made the first payment toward exam and lab fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

Thinking of you, Rachel. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Naivasha.
