Help me finish a nursing degree at Calgary State College - $1,700 to go
A first-generation student, Margaux needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a nursing degree.
🇨🇦 Alberta, Canada2,674 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Calgary State College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,700.
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 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 $1,700 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $290
• Final term tuition: $1,200
• Exam and lab fees: $210
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Praying for you. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Hang in there, Margaux. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Calgary
keep going. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 22 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Calgary.
Thank you. If you're in Calgary I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
This could happen to any of us. After 8 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
Keep going, Margaux. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care
it takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Brooklyn but we're thinking of you. God bless
Hope it all works out, Margaux. Looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 39 people at work. Blessings.
Keep going, Margaux. Study hard! Take care.
Thinking of you, Margaux. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. All the best
Wishing you peace. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Niterói so I could bring a meal. All the best.
