Dorcas's final semester of a law degree in Kasarani
Dorcas has worked and saved for five years to study a law degree; a $800 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Kasarani Polytechnic, and I'm two terms 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 $800.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my faculty supervisor 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 Kasarani Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $800 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $230
• Final term tuition: $510
• Exam and lab fees: $50
• Textbooks and materials: $10
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope it all works out, Dorcas. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Salem this morning. Blessings.
Sending good thoughts. I hope things turn around soon. After 12 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Wishing you peace. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Sending love, Dorcas. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Take care
Stay strong. Looking forward to the next update. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
Sending strength, Dorcas. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Kasarani
Good luck, Dorcas. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Thinking of you, Dorcas. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 12 people at work. God bless.
