Pablo's final semester of a degree in social work in Bakersfield
Pablo has worked and saved for five years to study a degree in social work; a $3,850 gap now stands between him and graduation.
🇺🇸 Bakersfield, California, United States3,757 views
Pablo is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a degree in social work at the Bakersfield Institute of Technology, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,850.
The registrar has said Pablo can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Pablo has a 3.9 average, and an academic advisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Pablo would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Pablo isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and 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 $3,850 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $230
• Textbooks and materials: $250
• Final term tuition: $3,370
With deep gratitude,
Luis

Hang in there. Study hard! Wish I lived closer to Bandung so I could bring a meal.
Hang in there, Luis. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I went through something like this 14 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
