Vusi is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an accounting degree at Johannesburg Community College, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,300. The registrar has said Vusi can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Vusi 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 Vusi would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Vusi 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 $1,300 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $640 • Final term tuition: $550 • Exam and lab fees: $55 • Textbooks and materials: $55 Thanks for being kind about this.

    praying for you, Tshepo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My husband and I read this together

    • Madelyn M. Nunez

      sending love, Tshepo. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Greetings from Ciudad de México.

      • Tomás R. Serrano

        rooting for you, Tshepo. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn

        • Ryan JenningsQuestion

          is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Vusi.

          • Tshepo S. DlaminiOwnerAnswer

            Sure. The biggest one is outstanding tuition balance, $640. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.
