Giulia is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a nursing degree at the Bergamo Institute of Technology, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,000. The registrar has said Giulia can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Giulia has a 3.8 average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Giulia would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Giulia isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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 $4,000 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $85 • Final term tuition: $1,950 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,965 Thanks for reading all this.

Updates from Simona

  1. Update from Bergamo: we've started the first stage. We're at 55% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. 44% there. I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. Thank you.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,071 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Rooting for you. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 4 people at work. All the best.

      I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Embakasi so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Bekasi.

        Thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Miami.

              Hang in there, Simona. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Toronto but we're thinking of you.
