Robert is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a nursing degree at San Diego Community College, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,250. The registrar has said Robert can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Robert has a first-class 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 Robert would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Robert isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He 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 $1,250 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $175 • Outstanding tuition balance: $960 • Textbooks and materials: $115 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

  • Sending good thoughts, Derek. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

    • Best of luck, Derek. Hope you get there. Thinking of San Diego

      • Keep going. Shared it with a few friends. Please keep us posted. Love from Sylhet.

        • I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Haifa

          • Rooting for you. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Geelong
