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
