Emi is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a diploma in hospitality management at Fukuoka Polytechnic, and is one term 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 $4,200. The registrar has said Emi can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Emi has a 3.8 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 Emi would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Emi 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 $4,200 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,800 • Final term tuition: $1,950 • Exam and lab fees: $105 • Textbooks and materials: $345 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Yuki

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($3,040 in total) I made the first payment toward final term tuition. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Fukuoka: I made the first payment toward final term tuition. We're at 22% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

            Sending strength. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
