One semester away: help Delilah graduate from Belfast University
Delilah has worked and saved for five years to study a degree in civil engineering; a $3,500 gap now stands between her and graduation.
🇬🇧 Belfast, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom984 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Belfast University, 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 $3,500.
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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $3,500 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,700
• Textbooks and materials: $310
• Final term tuition: $1,490
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

so sorry you're going through this, Delilah. Study hard!
Hope things get better soon. Hope this works out for you. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Belfast.
Hope things get better soon, Delilah. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in Thiruvananthapuram but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Thiruvananthapuram.
Hang in there, Delilah. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 13 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from İzmir.
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together. Blessings
Stay strong, Delilah. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Love from Seattle.
Thinking of you. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. God bless.
Sending good thoughts, Delilah. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
You're not alone, Delilah. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did
