I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at the Detroit Institute of Technology, and I'm one semester 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 $6,600. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction average, and my department head 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 $6,600 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,300 • Final term tuition: $3,800 • Exam and lab fees: $290 • Textbooks and materials: $210 Every share and every dollar helps. - Walker

    Hope things get better soon, Walker. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

    • Isabela Amanda Monteiro

      hope things get better soon, Walker. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

      • Pieter Peters

        Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best
