Help me finish a degree in social work at Galle State College - $400 to go
A first-generation student, Lasanthi needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in social work.
🇱🇰 Galle, Southern, Sri Lanka442 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Galle State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $400.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class average, and my professor has written in support of my application for a payment plan.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility.
I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the Galle State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $400 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $280
• Exam and lab fees: $55
• Textbooks and materials: $65
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

You're not alone. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Praying for you, Lasanthi. Hope this works out for you. Sent it to 3 people at work. Thinking of Galle.
Stay strong. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. After 17 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Belo Horizonte.
