Walker's final semester of a degree in civil engineering in Los Angeles
Walker has worked and saved for five years to study a degree in civil engineering; a $5,000 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Los Angeles University, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer 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 first-class 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:
• Exam and lab fees: $230
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,600
• Final term tuition: $2,170
With deep gratitude,
Walker

You're not alone, Walker. Your post was clear and honest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Stay strong, Walker. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Walker. Shared it with a few friends.
Thinking of you, Walker. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My husband and I read this together. Greetings from Lille.
