Mazen is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a diploma in hospitality management at Saint-Denis Polytechnic, and is one semester 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 $3,350.
The registrar has said Mazen can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Mazen has a 3.8 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 Mazen would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Mazen 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 $3,350 goes:
• Final term tuition: $1,600
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,550
• Textbooks and materials: $200
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Layla
Small update. $277 so far, I made the first payment toward textbooks and materials.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($138 in total) the plan for final term tuition is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 1% now ($50). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for final term tuition is now scheduled. - Layla

This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Saint-Denis
Hope things get better soon, Layla. Shared it with a few friends. I hope July is when things finally get easier. Greetings from Dar es Salaam.
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Los Angeles
thinking of you. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Best of luck, Layla. I hope things turn around soon. Please keep us posted.
