Erica has worked and saved for four years to study a nursing degree; a $800 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Quezon City Polytechnic, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $800.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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 $800 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $15
• Outstanding tuition balance: $280
• Final term tuition: $505
If you're reading this, thank you.
