A first-generation student, Ricardo needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a computer science degree.

Ricardo is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a computer science degree at Coyoacán University, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $800.
The registrar has said Ricardo can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Ricardo has a first-class average, and a department head has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Ricardo would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Ricardo isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the Coyoacán University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $800 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $310
• Final term tuition: $380
• Exam and lab fees: $25
• Textbooks and materials: $85
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from New Delhi.
Praying for you, Alejandra. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
Stay strong, Alejandra. Hope this works out for you. After 22 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Put this on a community board in Riverside this morning
Good luck, Alejandra. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Hope things get better soon, Alejandra. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Thinking of Coyoacán.
Keep going. Shared this with my family. After 27 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Thanks for sharing this, Alejandra. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Blessings.
I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Vancouver.
