Brescia
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Brescia State College, and I'm two terms 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 $2,850. 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 academic advisor 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 $2,850 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,700 • Final term tuition: $900 • Exam and lab fees: $80 • Textbooks and materials: $170 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

  • Wishing you peace, Antonio. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Birmingham so I could bring a meal.

    • wishing you the best, Antonio. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

        Hang in there. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.

        • Sending strength, Antonio. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless
