Marilyn's final semester of an accounting degree in Oakland
Marilyn has worked and saved for five years to study an accounting degree; a $1,700 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Oakland State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,700.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction 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 $1,700 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $180
• Textbooks and materials: $130
• Final term tuition: $1,390
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Houston.
