I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Tallahassee Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,400. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my department head 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 $2,400 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $165 • Textbooks and materials: $300 • Final term tuition: $1,935 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

          is there anything that isn't money that would help Itzel?
