Help me finish a pharmacy diploma at Iloilo City State College - $500 to go
Kristine has worked and saved for five years to study a pharmacy diploma; a $500 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Iloilo City State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $500.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $500 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $20
• Textbooks and materials: $25
• Final term tuition: $455
Thank you so much.
