I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at London Community 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 $2,950. 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 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 London Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $2,950 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,000 • Final term tuition: $1,450 • Exam and lab fees: $220 • Textbooks and materials: $280 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Bella

  • Thinking of you and your family. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Jakarta so I could bring a meal. All the best.

    • Sending strength, Bella. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Badagry this morning. Blessings!

      • Hope it all works out. Your post was clear and honest. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care!

        • stay strong, Bella. This could happen to any of us. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

            Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Bella!

              Outstanding tuition balance is $1,000 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Ask me anything else.
