Help me finish a master's in public health at Coatzacoalcos University - $1,500 to go
A first-generation student, Gerardo needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a master's in public health.
🇲🇽 Mexico1,617 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Coatzacoalcos University, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,500.
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 department head 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 $1,500 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $830
• Final term tuition: $500
• Exam and lab fees: $65
• Textbooks and materials: $105
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Hope it all works out, Gerardo. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Bonny

Hang in there, Gerardo. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings!
Thinking of you, Gerardo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of Coatzacoalcos.
Sending strength, Gerardo. Study hard! Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Pretoria.
Thanks for sharing this. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless.
