I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Puebla Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,200.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class 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.
The payment will go directly to the Puebla Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $410
• Final term tuition: $620
• Exam and lab fees: $60
• Textbooks and materials: $110
Thank you for reading my story.

Stay strong, Karina. This could happen to any of us. After 8 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care
Sending love, Karina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Puebla
Wishing you the best, Karina. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you!
stay strong, Karina. It takes guts to ask. Well done
Best of luck. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless
Thinking of you and your family, Karina. Shared this with my family. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out.
