Grace is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in social work at Toronto Polytechnic, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,800.
The registrar has said Grace can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Grace has a first-class average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Grace would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Grace 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 $4,800 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,650
• Final term tuition: $1,800
• Exam and lab fees: $155
• Textbooks and materials: $195
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Love from Ottawa.
Keep going, Valentina. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in teaching myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Take care, Valentina. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Thinking of Toronto.
Best of luck. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Greetings from Cartagena.
