Ben is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a degree in civil engineering at Berlin University, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $5,250.
The registrar has said Ben can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Ben has a first-class average, and a professor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Ben would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Ben isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and 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 $5,250 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $220
• Final term tuition: $3,050
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,980
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Gazipur.
Thinking of you, Bernd. Hope you get there. My neighbor in Rawalpindi donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Hope this works out for you. I hope March is when things finally get easier
So sorry you're going through this, Bernd. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Berlin.
Wishing you the best, Bernd. This could happen to any of us. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Berlin
sending good thoughts, Bernd. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Nagpur but we're thinking of you
