Columbus
Lily is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a computer science degree at Columbus University, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $5,100. The registrar has said Lily can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Lily has a 3.6 average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Lily would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Lily 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 $5,100 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,400 • Final term tuition: $3,300 • Exam and lab fees: $280 • Textbooks and materials: $120 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Elijah

    Thanks for sharing this, Elijah. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Jakarta Selatan.

      Thanks for sharing this, Elijah. Study hard! I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Columbus.

        Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

        • Juliet Nneka Nwankwo

          Hope things get better soon. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Thinking of Columbus
