Collins has worked and saved for five years to study a nursing degree; a $800 gap now stands between him and graduation.

Collins is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a nursing degree at Nairobi State College, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $800.
The registrar has said Collins can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Collins has a distinction 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 Collins would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Collins isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the Nairobi State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $800 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $210
• Final term tuition: $500
• Exam and lab fees: $50
• Textbooks and materials: $40

Update from Nairobi: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 39% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.
Thank you all. We're at 31% now ($244). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the university and confirmed the amounts.
