Machakos
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Machakos University, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,100. 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $1,100 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $520 • Exam and lab fees: $40 • Final term tuition: $540 I hope life is good to you. - Imani

Updates from Imani

  1. Quick update: $376 raised so far (34%). I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 30% now ($326). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward final term tuition.

  3. Update from Machakos: we've started the first stage. We're at 16% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

      Praying for you, Imani. Your post was clear and honest. After 20 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.

      • Dwi Imam Setiawan

        Sending good thoughts, Imani. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care

              thinking of you and your family, Imani. Study hard! This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Take care.

                You're not alone. Shared this with my family. After 23 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything

                  wishing you the best. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Birmingham so I could bring a meal. All the best.

                      wishing you peace. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. All the best.
