Help Gerald finish a teaching qualification at Manila Polytechnic - $1,000 to go

Gerald is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a teaching qualification at Manila Polytechnic, and is two terms 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 $1,000. The registrar has said Gerald can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Gerald 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 Gerald would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Gerald 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 $1,000 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $370 • Final term tuition: $550 • Exam and lab fees: $35 • Textbooks and materials: $45 Thanks for reading all this. - Mark
