I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Saint-Étienne University, and I'm one term 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 $2,950. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 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: • Outstanding tuition balance: $990 • Final term tuition: $1,700 • Exam and lab fees: $60 • Textbooks and materials: $200 Thanks for reading all this. - Patrick

    So sorry you're going through this, Patrick. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did

      stay strong. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to San Jose so I could bring a meal
