Colette is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a nursing degree at Marseille Polytechnic, and is two terms 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 $4,750. The registrar has said Colette can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Colette has a distinction 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 Colette would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Colette isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Marseille Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,750 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,500 • Final term tuition: $2,900 • Exam and lab fees: $220 • Textbooks and materials: $130 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Emma

Updates from Emma

  1. Update from Marseille: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 52% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,170 in total) I made the first payment toward textbooks and materials. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. We're at 19% thanks to 21 of you. I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. More news soon. - Emma

        Hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 8 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
