Pretoria
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Pretoria State College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,500. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 average, and my professor has written in support of my application for a payment plan. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility. I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Pretoria State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,500 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $850 • Final term tuition: $590 • Textbooks and materials: $60 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

    This helper is honest and transparent about what they can do. They didn't overpromise, but they did deliver excellent results. I would definitely trust them again.

    Helped when no one else could

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Busisiwe.
