Maya's final semester of a degree in social work in Sherbrooke
Maya has worked and saved for three years to study a degree in social work; a $5,100 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Sherbrooke Community College, and I'm two terms 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 $5,100.
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 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $5,100 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,250
• Final term tuition: $2,400
• Exam and lab fees: $220
• Textbooks and materials: $230
With deep gratitude,
Maya

Wishing you peace. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like!
Rooting for you, Maya. I hope things turn around soon. I'll check back for the next update.
