I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Kawasaki Polytechnic, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,300. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 average, and my department head 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $2,300 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $310 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,800 • Exam and lab fees: $190 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Harumi

    Couldn't have asked for better support. They listened carefully, understood my situation deeply, and provided thoughtful advice that actually worked. Thank you so much.

        So sorry you're going through this, Harumi. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

          keep going, Harumi. Study hard! This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Frankfurt.
