Help me finish a master's in public health at the Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology - $800 to go
Samuel is one term away from finishing a master's in public health but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $800.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at the Dar es Salaam Institute of Technology, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $800.
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 department head 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $800 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $280
• Final term tuition: $460
• Exam and lab fees: $35
• Textbooks and materials: $25
Thank you so much.

You're not alone, Samuel. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Anaheim.

This could happen to any of us. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Dar es Salaam.
