Jesse is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a nursing degree at Amsterdam Community College, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $5,450. The registrar has said Jesse can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Jesse has a 3.6 average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Jesse would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Jesse 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 $5,450 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $180 • Final term tuition: $2,150 • Outstanding tuition balance: $3,120 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

    Thinking of you, Ties. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.

    • Felipe Samuel Pinto

      Thanks for sharing this, Ties. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Rio de Janeiro so I could bring a meal. Blessings.

        Study hard! My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.

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

          • Muthoni Muthoni Barasa

            Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day

            • Yetunde Yakubu

              keep going, Ties. I hope things turn around soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care.

                  Stay strong, Ties. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Put this on a community board in Manchester this morning. Thinking of Amsterdam.
