I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Los Angeles University, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $6,600. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class 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 $6,600 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,900 • Final term tuition: $3,450 • Exam and lab fees: $125 • Textbooks and materials: $125 Thank you for reading my story. - Maverick

    You're not alone, Maverick. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor in Kelowna donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
