Pasig
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Pasig State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $750. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my faculty supervisor has written in support of my application for a payment plan. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility. I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then 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 $750 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $45 • Outstanding tuition balance: $460 • Final term tuition: $245 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Updates from Imelda

  1. Quick update: $545 raised so far (73%). the plan for outstanding tuition balance is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($575 in total) I made the first payment toward final term tuition. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Update from Pasig: I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. We're at 33% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

    Hang in there, Imelda. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Take care.

      Sending strength. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
