Maya's final semester of a teaching qualification in Montréal
Maya is one semester away from finishing a teaching qualification but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $3,600.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Montréal State College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,600.
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 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 $3,600 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,750
• Final term tuition: $1,400
• Exam and lab fees: $195
• Textbooks and materials: $255
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Montréal.
Thank you. If you're in Montréal I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Wishing you the best. Hope you get there. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Keep going. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Semarang.
So sorry you're going through this. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
Wishing you the best. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hope it all works out, Maya. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
