I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at the Rockford Institute of Technology, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,700. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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 $2,700 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,050 • Exam and lab fees: $280 • Textbooks and materials: $370 Thanks for being kind about this. - Verónica

  • Take care, Verónica. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Aswan.

    • Good luck, Verónica. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn.

      • Stay strong, Verónica. Looking forward to the next update. My neighbor in Lagos donated after I showed her your page. All the best.

        • Thinking of you and your family, Verónica. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
