Help Deepika finish a degree in civil engineering at Negombo University - $850 to go
A first-generation student, Deepika needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in civil engineering.
🇱🇰 Sri Lanka1,904 views
Deepika is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in civil engineering at Negombo University, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $850.
The registrar has said Deepika can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Deepika has a 3.9 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 Deepika would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Deepika 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 Negombo University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $850 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $55
• Final term tuition: $380
• Outstanding tuition balance: $415
Thanks for being kind about this.

stay strong, Chathurika. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My husband and I read this together. All the best!
How is Deepika doing now?
rooting for you, Chathurika. Looking forward to the next update. Put this on a community board in Ekurhuleni this morning. Love from Ekurhuleni.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Deepika?
Thank you. If you're in Negombo I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
Hang in there, Chathurika. This could happen to any of us. Love from São Paulo.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
sending love. Good luck with the exams, you've got this
