One semester away: help Araceli graduate from the Austin Institute of Technology
Araceli has worked and saved for three years to study a law degree; a $1,900 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at the Austin Institute of Technology, 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 $1,900.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class 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 $1,900 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $270
• Textbooks and materials: $230
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,400
I hope life is good to you.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Austin
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Detroit.
Study hard! I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Austin.
Wishing you peace, Araceli. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours

Hope things get better soon, Araceli. Shared it with a few friends. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Austin.
