I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at San Diego Polytechnic, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $5,000. 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 $5,000 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,900 • Final term tuition: $1,650 • Exam and lab fees: $250 • Textbooks and materials: $200 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

        Thanks for sharing this, Theodore. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

          Sending strength, Theodore. Shared this with my family. After 25 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.

          • Kendall M. Park

            Keep going. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Kadıköy this morning. Love from Kadıköy.
