I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at Flint State College, and I'm one term 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 $3,950.
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 faculty supervisor 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 $3,950 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,100
• Final term tuition: $2,500
• Exam and lab fees: $135
• Textbooks and materials: $215
I hope life is good to you.

Thanks for sharing this, Nora. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Hope things get better soon. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Flint.
Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Love from Arusha
Stay strong, Nora. Study hard! We're a small family in Petrópolis but we're thinking of you. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Nora. Looking forward to the next update. My husband and I read this together.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 13 people at work. Thinking of Flint
Hope it all works out. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Flint.
Good luck, Nora. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Keep going, Nora. I hope things turn around soon. I hope August is when things finally get easier. All the best
