One semester away: help Beatriz graduate from San Francisco Polytechnic
Beatriz has worked and saved for five years to study a nursing degree; a $7,000 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at San Francisco Polytechnic, and I'm one term 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 $7,000.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 average, and my professor 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 San Francisco Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $7,000 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,700
• Final term tuition: $3,650
• Exam and lab fees: $230
• Textbooks and materials: $420
Thank you for reading my story.

Thinking of you. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together.
Thinking of you and your family, Beatriz. Hope this works out for you. My husband and I read this together. All the best
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near San Francisco!
Thank you. If you're in San Francisco I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.
Stay strong, Beatriz. Your post was clear and honest.
how is Beatriz doing now?
praying for you, Beatriz. This could happen to any of us. Blessings!
It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Oakland!
Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
