Gianna is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a diploma in hospitality management at Laredo State College, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,800. The registrar has said Gianna can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Gianna has a 3.8 average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Gianna would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Gianna isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Laredo State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,800 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $220 • Exam and lab fees: $300 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,280 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Todd

  • wishing you the best. Study hard! My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Epe

    • Sending strength, Todd. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. All the best.

      • Thinking of you, Todd. Your post was clear and honest. After 13 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

        • Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 30 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Laredo.

          • Best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Laredo.

            • Sending good thoughts, Todd. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Iztapalapa.
