Bilal is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a diploma in hospitality management at the Anaheim Institute of Technology, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,250. The registrar has said Bilal can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Bilal has a 3.9 average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Bilal would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Bilal 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 $3,250 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,300 • Final term tuition: $1,700 • Exam and lab fees: $105 • Textbooks and materials: $145 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

            Stay strong. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
