Lecce
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Lecce 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 $3,350. 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 department head 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 Lecce Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $3,350 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $900 • Final term tuition: $2,050 • Exam and lab fees: $160 • Textbooks and materials: $240 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Luca

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($336 in total) I made the first payment toward textbooks and materials. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $668 raised so far (20%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

    You're not alone, Luca. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

      Rooting for you, Luca. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
