¡Hi all! Let me tell you my story :) 

I am Ana Malagon from Mexico City.

I am 24 years old and I live with my parents and 2 brothers. 

Four years ago my father’s company went bankrupt. It was a very difficult time for all my family, back then I was in the middle of my degree at a very expensive university which we could afford at the time, but when my dad lost everything, he decided to look for jobs to continue supporting his family although he was not successful… At the moment my dad is still unemployed and it is very painful to see him dragged in a very strong depression, powerless and unable to find meaning to his life, even if his children try to help him regain self-confidence and see life differently, it has been impossible. 

This is my dad, brothers and I before all this happened <3

It has been a very difficult process. When all this happened I had to stop my degree for a year because there was no way to afford it. 

I have anxiety attacks even since and fear of never being able to finish my career. It was all so sudden and very painful, but I decided not to give up and succeed.

I started working and a year and a half later I managed to go back to university. Ever since I have paid for my own tuition, but since each subject a month is worth six thousand (6.000) pesos I have only been able to study 2 subjects per semester( Even while working in 3 jobs)for three years now.

One of those jobs is a business that I decided to start in my despair and little by little it was taking off.

I've been studyng my degree for six years now when ideally is 4 years, and at this point I still have a year and a half to go. Because of the pandemic we are facing now unfortunately I lost 2 of my jobs (My business fell apart :( ) which makes it impossible for me to study in August and if I don’t pay for the tuition they will remove me from the university. This is because, as I previously mentioned, the university does not allow to freeze the process anymore, otherwise the system will withdraw my studies indefinitely. 

Many might wonder why I don't speak to the University, or cannot I get a scholarship; I have tried unsuccessfully. I have not received any kind of support from the university even after being aware of my situation. 

Thank you very much indeed to all of you who took the time to read my story and I have faith that with your help I will be able study in August. 

And to all those who are going through the same situation, rest assured that this will come out stronger :).
