Hi, my name is Bianca, and I’m an international student at the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg.

I am one course away from graduating, but I’m struggling to afford my final summer class (July–August), which I need in order to graduate this October.

Earlier this year, I took out a loan to continue my studies, and I’m already in debt. Taking another loan isn’t an option for me right now. My mom, who is my only parent, has been doing everything she can to support me, but her business has slowed down and she is also struggling financially.

I’ve worked hard for five years to get to this point, and I’m so close to finishing my degree. Taking this summer class is the most affordable way for me to graduate without additional fees that come with the fall semester.

I’m asking for your help to cover the cost of this final class so I can complete my education and move forward.

Any amount, no matter how small, would mean so much to me.

Thank you for taking the time to read and support me.
