Clara's final semester of a computer science degree in Bristol
Clara has worked and saved for four years to study a computer science degree; a $4,350 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Bristol Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,350.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class 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 Bristol Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $4,350 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,550
• Final term tuition: $2,350
• Exam and lab fees: $135
• Textbooks and materials: $315
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Updates from Clara
Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,442 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Quick update: $481 raised so far (11%). the plan for final term tuition is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Munich.
Praying for you. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Thinking of Bristol.
hang in there, Clara. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 29 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Greetings from Da Nang.
Thinking of you and your family, Clara. Shared this with my family. We're a small family in London but we're thinking of you. Take care
