Heather's final semester of a computer science degree in Fort Worth
Heather has worked and saved for four years to study a computer science degree; a $4,000 gap now stands between her and graduation.

Heather is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a computer science degree at Fort Worth Polytechnic, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,000.
The registrar has said Heather can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Heather has a 3.6 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 Heather would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Heather isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She 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 $4,000 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,100
• Final term tuition: $1,350
• Exam and lab fees: $175
• Textbooks and materials: $375
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together. God bless!
Hang in there. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
Study hard! We're a small family in Nairobi but we're thinking of you.
Hang in there, Denise. Hope this works out for you. Blessings.
Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 10 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
