I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Leeds Polytechnic, 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 $4,050. 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 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 $4,050 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,250 • Final term tuition: $2,350 • Exam and lab fees: $90 • Textbooks and materials: $360 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • sending love, Faith. Study hard! I'll check back for the next update.

    • Rooting for you. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Rohini this morning. Greetings from Rohini

      • Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope June is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Aurangabad.

        • Take care. This could happen to any of us. After 18 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

          • Praying for you. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Leeds.

            • Sending love, Faith. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

              • Best of luck, Faith. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.

                • Thinking of you and your family, Faith. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Don't give up.

                  • So sorry you're going through this, Faith. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Granada but we're thinking of you. Take care.

                    • Best of luck. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together. Love from Riverside.
