One semester away: help Silvia graduate from Zapopan State College
Silvia has worked and saved for three years to study a nursing degree; a $850 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Zapopan State College, and I'm two terms 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 $850.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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 $850 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $740
• Textbooks and materials: $80
• Exam and lab fees: $30
Thank you for reading my story.

Updates from Silvia
Thank you all. We're at 18% now ($151). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward textbooks and materials.
