București
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at București University, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,150. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 average, and my professor 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 $1,150 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $40 • Textbooks and materials: $110 • Final term tuition: $1,000 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Larisa

  • Thanks for sharing this, Larisa. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

    • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Frankfurt.

      • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Katowice

        • Keep going, Larisa. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Hyderabad

          • Sending love. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best!
