Help me finish an agriculture degree at Cairo University - $400 to go
Mahmoud has worked and saved for four years to study an agriculture degree; a $400 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at Cairo University, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $400.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 average, and my academic advisor 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 $400 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $55
• Outstanding tuition balance: $310
• Exam and lab fees: $35
With deep gratitude,
Mahmoud

hope things get better soon, Mahmoud. Your post was clear and honest. I have a 10 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care!
Thanks for sharing this, Mahmoud. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.
Good luck, Mahmoud. Hope you get there. After 26 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Cairo.
Thanks for sharing this, Mahmoud. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Blessings.
