I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at New Orleans Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,300.
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 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 $2,300 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $330
• Textbooks and materials: $130
• Final term tuition: $1,840
With deep gratitude,
Maria

Good luck, Maria. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together.
Keep going, Maria. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Thinking of New Orleans
Sending good thoughts. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Keep going. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care!
