Help me finish an accounting degree at Cape Town University - $900 to go
A first-generation student, Sipho F needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of an accounting degree.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Cape Town University, and I'm two terms 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 $900.
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.
The payment will go directly to the Cape Town University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $900 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $310
• Final term tuition: $490
• Exam and lab fees: $30
• Textbooks and materials: $70
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

So sorry you're going through this, Sipho F. Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out.
Hang in there. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings.
Thinking of you. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
