I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Birmingham University, and I'm one term 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 $2,750. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 average, and my professor 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 $2,750 goes: • Final term tuition: $1,350 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,050 • Textbooks and materials: $350 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it. - Zoey

    Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

    • Osamu Suzuki

      Stay strong. Shared it with a few friends. I hope April is when things finally get easier. Blessings.

      • Fani Hartono

        As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Love from Bogra.

        • Nathaniel Kwadwo Amponsah

          Good luck, Zoey. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 9 years ago and strangers helped me out

          • Pankaj N. Joshi

            Sending strength. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Love from Osaka.

            • Devi N. Namboothiri

              Sending good thoughts, Zoey. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
