Brenda is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a diploma in hospitality management at Birmingham Polytechnic, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $2,400. The registrar has said Brenda can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Brenda has a first-class 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 Brenda would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Brenda 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 $2,400 goes: • Final term tuition: $1,250 • Outstanding tuition balance: $880 • Textbooks and materials: $270 I hope life is good to you. - Kennedy

Updates from Kennedy

  1. Small update. $615 so far, I made the first payment toward final term tuition.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 36% now ($875). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the university and confirmed the amounts.

  3. Update from Birmingham: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 59% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
