Leah's final semester of a law degree in San Francisco
A first-generation student, Leah needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a law degree.
🇺🇸 San Francisco, California, United States2,246 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at San Francisco University, and I'm one term 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 $3,550.
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 $3,550 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,600
• Final term tuition: $1,500
• Exam and lab fees: $100
• Textbooks and materials: $350
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

good luck, Leah. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Leah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Best of luck. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My neighbor in Dhaka donated after I showed her your page. Love from Dhaka.
Stay strong. Hope you get there. We're a small family in Shubra but we're thinking of you.
Hope you get there. Don't give up. Love from Warsaw
Best of luck, Leah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of San Francisco.
