Verónica's final semester of a degree in social work in Rockford
A first-generation student, Verónica needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in social work.
🇺🇸 United States2,884 views
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.

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
