I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at Cali State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,250. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction average, and my academic advisor 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 $1,250 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $600 • Final term tuition: $540 • Exam and lab fees: $80 • Textbooks and materials: $30 I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Dolores

  1. We're at 29% thanks to 15 of you. I made the first payment toward textbooks and materials. More news soon.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($225 in total) the plan for final term tuition is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Wishing you the best, Dolores. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless

        Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Seoul so I could bring a meal. All the best.
