Gerrit is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a computer science degree at Rotterdam Community College, and is one term away from graduating. He 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 $4,550. The registrar has said Gerrit can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Gerrit has a 3.6 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 Gerrit would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Gerrit 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 $4,550 goes: • Final term tuition: $2,400 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,900 • Exam and lab fees: $250 With deep gratitude, Eva

  1. Thank you all. We're at 4% now ($194). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the university and confirmed the amounts.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 11% now ($517). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward exam and lab fees.

        Thinking of you and your family, Eva. Shared it with a few friends. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
