I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Fresno Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,600. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction average, and my professor 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 $5,600 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,450 • Final term tuition: $2,550 • Exam and lab fees: $270 • Textbooks and materials: $330 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from John

  1. Thank you all. We're at 67% now ($3,751). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward textbooks and materials.

  2. Update from Fresno: I made the first payment toward final term tuition. We're at 49% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,450 in total) I made the first payment toward exam and lab fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
