Annabelle is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a master's in public health at Toronto University, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,250. The registrar has said Annabelle can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Annabelle has a 3.8 average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Annabelle would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Annabelle isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Toronto University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,250 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,350 • Final term tuition: $2,550 • Exam and lab fees: $190 • Textbooks and materials: $160 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
