Joliet
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Joliet Community College, 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 $3,600. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class 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 $3,600 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,900 • Final term tuition: $1,050 • Exam and lab fees: $330 • Textbooks and materials: $320 Every share and every dollar helps. - Kaylee

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Wishing you peace, Kaylee. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Londrina so I could bring a meal. Love from Ciudad de México

    • Ricardo D. AguilarAddress verified

      Wishing you peace, Kaylee. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
