Shweta is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in civil engineering at Detroit State College, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $5,700. The registrar has said Shweta can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Shweta has a distinction 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 Shweta would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Shweta isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Detroit State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $5,700 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,100 • Final term tuition: $3,050 • Exam and lab fees: $280 • Textbooks and materials: $270 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure. - Aadhya

  • Keep going, Aadhya. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My neighbor in Nakuru donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Detroit.

    • Take care, Aadhya. This could happen to any of us.

      • what exactly is the $5,700 for?

          Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. outstanding tuition balance comes first ($2,100) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for looking so closely.

      • Keep going, Aadhya. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.

        • wishing you the best. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Brandon but we're thinking of you!

          • Sending love, Aadhya. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors.
