Garba is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a diploma in hospitality management at the Lagos Institute of Technology, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $450.
The registrar has said Garba can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Garba has a first-class 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 Garba would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Garba isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the the Lagos Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $450 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $20
• Final term tuition: $380
• Textbooks and materials: $50

Rooting for you, Yinka. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Pune.
Shared it with a few friends. Wish I lived closer to Sacramento so I could bring a meal.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My colleague had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
Hope things get better soon, Yinka. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Yinka. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. It's not much but it's yours. God bless.
Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Wish I lived closer to Thrissur so I could bring a meal.
You're not alone, Yinka. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Put this on a community board in São Paulo this morning
I hope things turn around soon. After 23 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Hang in there. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Lecce.
Take care, Yinka. I hope things turn around soon. Love from Limoges.
