Pease help me finish my final year of college - Medley - 05-07-2026
Hi everyone. It feels really strange to be typing this out, and to be completely honest, it takes a lot of swallowing my pride to ask strangers for help. I’ve always been the kind of person who tries to figure things out on my own and handle my own problems. But right now, I’m in a situation where simply working hard just isn't enough, and I don't know where else to turn.
I am currently in my senior year of university, just a few months away from finally earning my degree. For the last three years, I’ve put absolutely everything I have into my education. I’ve juggled part-time jobs, taken on extra weekend shifts, and spent more late nights studying in the campus library than I can count. Up until very recently, I was making it work. It was stressful, living paycheck to paycheck and agonizing over the cost of access codes and textbooks, but I was paying my tuition installments and keeping my grades up.
Then, a couple of months ago, the bottom kind of fell out. My family was hit by an unexpected financial emergency. I won't share all the private details out of respect for them, but it completely drained what little safety net we had. The small amount of financial help my family was able to provide for my schooling disappeared overnight. They are devastated that they can't help, and I am now entirely on my own to figure out how to cover the rest of my education.
Now, I am staring at my final tuition bill, and I am terrifyingly short. My university is very strict about outstanding balances. If I cannot pay this off before the upcoming deadline, all of my classes for my final semester will be dropped. I will be forced to leave school right at the finish line. The thought of dropping out now after all the sacrifices, the stress, and the money already invested is absolutely heart-wrenching. Plus, taking a break means my previous student loans will kick into repayment before I even have a degree to get a job in my field.
I promise you, I have exhausted every single option before creating this page. I went into the financial aid office in tears, but the emergency grants for the semester were already depleted. I applied for an additional private student loan but was denied. I am already working as many hours at my job as I possibly can without failing my current classes. The math just simply does not add up, no matter how I rearrange my budget.
I am trying to raise funds just to cover my remaining tuition balance and mandatory school fees so I can stay enrolled. I am not asking for help with my rent, groceries, or daily living expenses; I am still working my job to cover all of that myself. Every single dollar raised here will go directly to the university's billing department.
If you can spare anything at all, even just five dollars, it would mean the absolute world to me. You wouldn't just be helping me pay a bill; you would be saving my college career and allowing me to finally step into the real world with the degree I've worked so hard for. I promise that once I graduate and get on my feet, I will pay this kindness forward to someone else in need.
If you aren't in a position to donate, I completely understand, but I would be so incredibly grateful if you could share this link with others. Thank you so much for reading this and for giving me a chance.
