Elias has worked and saved for five years to study an electrical engineering diploma; a $3,800 gap now stands between him and graduation.

Elias is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an electrical engineering diploma at Mississauga University, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,800.
The registrar has said Elias can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Elias has a 3.9 average, and an academic advisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Elias would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Elias isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He 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 $3,800 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,150
• Final term tuition: $1,350
• Textbooks and materials: $300
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

it takes guts to ask. Well done. After 20 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Campinas.
Thinking of you, Howard. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Essen this morning. God bless.
good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Hanoi.
Thinking of you and your family, Howard. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Stay strong, Howard. Your post was clear and honest. We're a small family in San Jose but we're thinking of you!
Good luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
Sending strength. Hope you get there. I hope August is when things finally get easier.
you're not alone, Howard. Hope you get there. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Casablanca.
