Tuition fund for Cristina: a degree in social work at Oakland University
A first-generation student, Cristina needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in social work.
🇺🇸 Oakland, California, United States2,315 views
Cristina is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in social work at Oakland University, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,100.
The registrar has said Cristina can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Cristina has a top-ten-percent 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 Cristina would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Cristina isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She 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 $4,100 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,100
• Final term tuition: $1,400
• Exam and lab fees: $330
• Textbooks and materials: $270
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace, Fernanda. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn
Praying for you, Fernanda. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 21 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
You're not alone, Fernanda. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best

Hope it all works out, Fernanda. Shared this with my family. Greetings from London.
