Grayson is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a diploma in hospitality management at San Jose Polytechnic, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,900.
The registrar has said Grayson can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Grayson has a 3.8 average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Grayson would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Grayson 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 $3,900 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $290
• Exam and lab fees: $300
• Final term tuition: $3,310
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

You're not alone. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of San Jose.

So sorry you're going through this, Brenda. I hope things turn around soon. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
