Birgit is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a nursing degree at Essen Community College, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,250.
The registrar has said Birgit can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Birgit has a 3.6 average, and a department head has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Birgit would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Birgit isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the Essen Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $4,250 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,250
• Final term tuition: $1,700
• Exam and lab fees: $80
• Textbooks and materials: $220
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We're a small family in Kassel but we're thinking of you!
Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Essen.
sending love. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Multan
