Shirley has worked and saved for five years to study a law degree; a $4,450 gap now stands between her and graduation.

Shirley is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a law degree at Wellington Community College, and is one semester 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 $4,450.
The registrar has said Shirley can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Shirley has a 3.9 average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Shirley would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Shirley isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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 $4,450 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,200
• Final term tuition: $2,950
• Exam and lab fees: $80
• Textbooks and materials: $220
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care, Sadie. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Ann Arbor
