Frank is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a nursing degree at Cairns State College, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $5,450. The registrar has said Frank can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Frank has a first-class average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Frank would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Frank isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He 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 $5,450 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,850 • Textbooks and materials: $280 • Final term tuition: $2,320 Thanks for being kind about this.

Updates from Tyler

  1. Update from Cairns: the first invoice got paid this week. We're at 31% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,364 in total) I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

          Best of luck, Tyler. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We're a small family in Mukono but we're thinking of you. Love from Mukono.
