Parramatta
Paisley is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in social work at the Parramatta Institute of Technology, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,550. The registrar has said Paisley can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Paisley has a top-ten-percent average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Paisley would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Paisley isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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 $1,550 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $230 • Exam and lab fees: $80 • Final term tuition: $1,240 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

    So sorry you're going through this, Brandon. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Thinking of Parramatta.

      Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.

        Thinking of you, Brandon. Shared it with a few friends. I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.

          Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Greetings from Sheffield.
