A Coruña
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at A Coruña Polytechnic, 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 $2,650. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class 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. The payment will go directly to the A Coruña Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $2,650 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $115 • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,350 • Textbooks and materials: $185 Every share and every dollar helps.

      Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Augsburg so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Dar es Salaam.

        Sending love, Paloma. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Lagos but we're thinking of you.

        • Mason M. Rose

          Good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Thinking of A Coruña!

          • Aubree Molina

            Stay strong, Paloma. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in San Nicolás de los Garza this morning. Thinking of A Coruña.

              wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
