One semester away: help Hazel graduate from Vancouver Community College
Hazel has worked and saved for five years to study a computer science degree; a $5,300 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Vancouver Community College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,300.
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 academic advisor 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 $5,300 goes:
• Final term tuition: $2,500
• Textbooks and materials: $330
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,470
With deep gratitude,
Hazel

So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Shared this with my family. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Tarragona.
Take care, Hazel. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My sister had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Vancouver
Thinking of you and your family. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care!
hang in there. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care
Take care. This could happen to any of us. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best!
