Comfort is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a nursing degree at Port Harcourt Community College, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $800. The registrar has said Comfort can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Comfort 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 Comfort would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Comfort isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She 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 $800 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $310 • Final term tuition: $420 • Exam and lab fees: $45 • Textbooks and materials: $25 Glad we found this place. - Folake

    Hang in there, Folake. Your post was clear and honest. It's not much but it's yours.

    • So sorry you're going through this, Folake. Hope this works out for you. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

      • Wishing you the best. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Epe.
