I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Kano State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $650. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction 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 $650 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $250 • Final term tuition: $340 • Exam and lab fees: $25 • Textbooks and materials: $35 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people. - Tayo

    This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Campinas donated after I showed her your page. God bless.

    • Mackenzie F. Nunez

      Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.

      • Kiara N. Tandon

        Hang in there, Tayo. Study hard! I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

        • Heru Tampubolon

          You're not alone. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 7 years in engineering I know how hard it's to ask for anything.

          • Nattaya Saetang

            So sorry you're going through this. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
