I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at the Leicester Institute of Technology, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,200. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 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. The payment will go directly to the the Leicester Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $3,200 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $770 • Final term tuition: $2,300 • Exam and lab fees: $130 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Arianna

        Thank you. If you're in Leicester I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. It helps to be asked.

    • Wishing you peace. Study hard! I'll check back for the next update.

      • keep going, Arianna. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry

        • Hang in there. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Bogotá.

          • Praying for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Love from Baton Rouge.

            • rooting for you, Arianna. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings

              • Hope it all works out. Study hard!

                • I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in Badagry but we're thinking of you. Take care.
