One semester away: help Donal graduate from Cork University
Donal is one semester away from finishing an agriculture degree but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $3,350.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at Cork University, 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 $3,350.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my academic advisor 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 $3,350 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,050
• Final term tuition: $1,800
• Exam and lab fees: $250
• Textbooks and materials: $250
Thank you so much.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Southampton.
How is Donal doing now?
Thinking of you, Donal. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Thinking of you, Donal. Shared it with a few friends
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Donal?
Thank you. If you're in Cork I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
