Help me finish an electrical engineering diploma at Knoxville Community College - $3,400 to go
Isabelle is one term away from finishing an electrical engineering diploma but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $3,400.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an electrical engineering diploma at Knoxville Community 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 $3,400.
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 faculty supervisor 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 $3,400 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,850
• Exam and lab fees: $180
• Textbooks and materials: $370
With deep gratitude,
Isabelle

Best of luck, Isabelle. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Greetings from Oakland
Hope it all works out, Isabelle. Shared this with my family. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Blessings.
Keep going, Isabelle. I hope things turn around soon. My husband and I read this together!
Hope it all works out, Isabelle. Shared it with a few friends.
Best of luck, Isabelle. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.

thinking of you and your family, Isabelle. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My husband and I read this together
Hang in there, Isabelle. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Knoxville.
So sorry you're going through this. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Warsaw so I could bring a meal.
