Cristina is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a nursing degree at Bakersfield Polytechnic, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,850. The registrar has said Cristina can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Cristina has a first-class average, and an academic advisor 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 $4,850 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,500 • Final term tuition: $2,800 • Exam and lab fees: $350 • Textbooks and materials: $200 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
