Personal message

 
Good day,
 
I hope you are well.
 
I would like to express my gratitude for taking the time to read this.
 
I am Ashleigh Son, a 22-year-old student and Au pair. I am hardworking and have a passion for accounting. My dream is to become a Chartered Accountant, and I have been diligently working towards making this dream a reality.
 
I was privileged enough to complete my high school education at Jeppe High School for Girls, where I served as a Councillor, secretary of Nerine, and the 1st Team Volleyball vice captain.
 
I went on to study Bcom Accounting at the University of Johannesburg and was fortunate enough to have my university fees covered by NSFAS. I completed my degree in 2022 and proceeded to study my BCTA at the University of Johannesburg, where my studies were covered by the accounting firm I worked for.
 
I have been working concurrently with my studies since high school, initially starting with scribing and pet sitting. In my second year of varsity, I began my articles along side my studies. Unfortunately, during my BCTA, the pressure was too much, and I had to choose between my job and passing. I then became an Au pair to create a more flexible schedule for myself. With this decision, I lost funding for my CTA year, which would be my final year of university.
 
I have been accepted at IAS, the Institute of Accounting Science, to complete my final year of university and be able to write my board exams for SAICA.
 
While my parents have been extremely supportive and helpful during my journey, unfortunately we have been rejected by all the financial institutions and have been unable to get a loan.
 
We are financially unable to pay fees at the moment however thanks to back a bbuddyand everyone's donations so far I have been fortunate enough to register.
 
I am reaching out for any possible donations, which will be paid directly to IAS. I am trying to raise all of the fees at the moment as we have been rejected for a loan as a whole and not even been offered a maximum amount to even cover a portion of my fees.
 
I understand that not everyone may be able to contribute, so if you are unable, I kindly ask you to share my BackaBuddy campaign to reach people who may be able to.
 
Please allow me to turn my dreams into reality, not only to better myself for the future but also to help support my family. I am so close to the finish line and this truly is my last step.
 
The funding I have asked for is 80 000 which does not cover textbook it is increased slightly to cover the amount back n buddy takes and on the most expensive payment plan on the event I can't pay on one lump sum. Any addition money which I do not need will be donated to another student in need.
