Ian is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a nursing degree at Shreveport Polytechnic, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,850. The registrar has said Ian can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Ian has a top-ten-percent 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 Ian would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Ian 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 $4,850 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,450 • Final term tuition: $2,950 • Exam and lab fees: $310 • Textbooks and materials: $140 Every share and every dollar helps. - Adrian

            hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.

                Thinking of you. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Wish I lived closer to Iztapalapa so I could bring a meal.
