One semester away: help Lucía graduate from the León Institute of Technology

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at the León Institute of Technology, 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 $1,700. 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 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 $1,700 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $770 • Final term tuition: $730 • Exam and lab fees: $110 • Textbooks and materials: $90 Thanks for being kind about this. - Lucía
