I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at the Leeds Institute of Technology, and I'm one term 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 $2,200. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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 the Leeds Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $2,200 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $280 • Final term tuition: $1,700 • Exam and lab fees: $220 Thanks for being kind about this. - Gianna

Updates from Gianna

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 31% funded and the plan for textbooks and materials is now scheduled.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($408 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Quick update: $200 raised so far (9%). the plan for textbooks and materials is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

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

    • Gianna B. HuntOwnerAnswer

      Sure. The biggest one is textbooks and materials, $280. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.

  • Tippawan Orawan Kittisak

    take care, Gianna. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Leeds

    • Simone Priscila Prado
