Roberto is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a master's in public health at Phoenix State College, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $2,000. The registrar has said Roberto can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Roberto has a 3.8 average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Roberto would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Roberto 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 $2,000 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $100 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,700 • Textbooks and materials: $200 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Emilio
