I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at Cebu City State College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner 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 3.6 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: • Outstanding tuition balance: $240 • Final term tuition: $480 • Exam and lab fees: $55 • Textbooks and materials: $25 Thank you for reading my story.

  • Wishing you the best, Pedro. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless

    • Sending good thoughts, Pedro. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.

      • Sending strength, Pedro. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

        • Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Cebu City.

          • Keep going, Pedro. Hope this works out for you. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
