I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at the Chicago Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,150.
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 faculty supervisor 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 $3,150 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,050
• Final term tuition: $1,500
• Exam and lab fees: $280
• Textbooks and materials: $320
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

best of luck, Leonardo. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 14 people at work. God bless
hope things get better soon, Leonardo. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn
Stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.
