One semester away: help Lydia graduate from London Polytechnic
A first-generation student, Lydia needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a law degree.
🇨🇦 London, Ontario, Canada1,605 views
Lydia is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a law degree at London Polytechnic, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,250.
The registrar has said Lydia can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Lydia has a 3.9 average, and a department head has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Lydia would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Lydia isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the London Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $4,250 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,900
• Final term tuition: $2,100
• Exam and lab fees: $75
• Textbooks and materials: $175
Glad we found this place.

Rooting for you, Jose. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Take care.
Take care, Jose. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
Thinking of you and your family, Jose. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Thinking of London
Sending good thoughts, Jose. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 14 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
