I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Los Angeles State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,950. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 average, and my faculty supervisor 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. The payment will go directly to the Los Angeles State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,950 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $85 • Final term tuition: $1,550 • Textbooks and materials: $315 Glad we found this place. - Inés

  • This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Berlin donated after I showed her your page. All the best.

      Wishing you peace, Inés. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Blessings.
