I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Kyiv Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $800. 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 department head 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 $800 goes: โ€ข Outstanding tuition balance: $490 โ€ข Final term tuition: $195 โ€ข Exam and lab fees: $70 โ€ข Textbooks and materials: $45 With deep gratitude, Oleksandr
