I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Sacramento Community College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,650.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class 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.
The payment will go directly to the Sacramento Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,250
• Textbooks and materials: $180
• Exam and lab fees: $220
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Paula
Good news. Because of your gifts ($365 in total) I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Update from Sacramento: we've started the first stage. We're at 5% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 5% now ($80). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for textbooks and materials is now scheduled.
