I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at the Birmingham Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,700. 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 $3,700 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $910 • Exam and lab fees: $180 • Final term tuition: $2,610 With deep gratitude, Kimberly

        I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
