Heraklion
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Heraklion Community College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,950. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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 $2,950 goes: โ€ข Outstanding tuition balance: $1,350 โ€ข Final term tuition: $1,450 โ€ข Exam and lab fees: $45 โ€ข Textbooks and materials: $105 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Marina

      Sending love, Marina. This could happen to any of us. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Love from Utrecht.

        Is there anything that isn't money that would help Marina?
