I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Los Angeles University, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,200. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 average, and my academic advisor 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 $3,200 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $250 • Textbooks and materials: $250 • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,700 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Vivian

          Hang in there, Vivian. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Los Angeles.

            I hope things turn around soon. I'm in hospitality myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care
