I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Barranquilla Community College, 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 $1,600.
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 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $800
• Final term tuition: $670
• Exam and lab fees: $40
• Textbooks and materials: $90
If you're reading this, thank you.

So sorry you're going through this, Roberto. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Take care.
Thinking of you and your family, Roberto. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update.
You're not alone. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
sending love, Roberto. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
Study hard! After 8 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
