I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Limerick Polytechnic, and I'm two terms 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 $4,900. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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 $4,900 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,350 • Final term tuition: $2,100 • Exam and lab fees: $85 • Textbooks and materials: $365 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Eamon

      Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Limerick!

      • Wishing you the best, Eamon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out.

        • Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Gazipur.

          • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Eamon.

            • Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. outstanding tuition balance comes first ($2,350) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.

          • Hang in there, Eamon. Study hard! We're a small family in Konya but we're thinking of you!

            • Good luck, Eamon. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.

              • Rooting for you. Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too

                • hope things get better soon, Eamon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Take care

                  • Wishing you peace, Eamon. Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Lahore so I could bring a meal. All the best.
