Madrid
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at the Madrid Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner 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 3.8 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 $2,300 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $50 • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,000 • Textbooks and materials: $250 If you're reading this, thank you. - Ignacio

Updates from Ignacio

  1. Quick update: $524 raised so far (23%). we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($414 in total) I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 8% now ($186). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for textbooks and materials is now scheduled.

    Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Madrid.
