Janet's final semester of a computer science degree in Toronto
Janet has worked and saved for five years to study a computer science degree; a $4,500 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Toronto Polytechnic, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,500.
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 professor 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 $4,500 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,650
• Final term tuition: $1,350
• Exam and lab fees: $160
• Textbooks and materials: $340
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Janet?
Thank you. If you're in Toronto I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
So sorry you're going through this, Janet. Good luck with the exams, you've got this.
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My husband and I read this together. Love from Dehiwala
So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
You're not alone. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
