Valentin has worked and saved for five years to study a diploma in hospitality management; a $4,950 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Boulogne-Billancourt State College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,950.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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 $4,950 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,600
• Final term tuition: $2,750
• Exam and lab fees: $300
• Textbooks and materials: $300
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Praying for you, Valentin. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Blessings.
Hang in there. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
