Riley is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a teaching qualification at Fayetteville Community College, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,450. The registrar has said Riley can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Riley has a 3.8 average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Riley would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Riley 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 $3,450 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,350 • Final term tuition: $1,750 • Exam and lab fees: $135 • Textbooks and materials: $215 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Mia

Updates from Mia

  1. Update from Fayetteville: we've started the first stage. We're at 23% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($304 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Small update. $160 so far, the plan for textbooks and materials is now scheduled.

      So sorry you're going through this, Mia. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Take care!

      • Ana Monica PopescuQuestion

        is there anything that isn't money that would help Riley?

          Thank you. If you're in Fayetteville I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.

      • Eman Anum Rana

        Good luck, Mia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.

        • Tammy T. King

          Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Fayetteville.

          • Antoine Paul Faure

            I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 22 years in nursing I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from San Jose.

            • Godwin Sani Gbadamosi

              Hang in there, Mia. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.

              • Manikandan Swamy

                stay strong, Mia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
