One semester away: help Ximena graduate from Cali University
Ximena has worked and saved for four years to study a degree in social work; a $950 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Cali University, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $950.
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 $950 goes:
• Final term tuition: $540
• Exam and lab fees: $45
• Outstanding tuition balance: $365
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Good luck. Study hard! Thinking of Cali.
Shared it with a few friends. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Ximena. Shared this with my family. Take care.
thinking of you and your family, Ximena. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Take care.
Sending love. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Odesa.
