I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Hồ Chí Minh City State College, and I'm one semester 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 distinction average, and my professor 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.
The payment will go directly to the Hồ Chí Minh City State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $750 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $210
• Final term tuition: $460
• Exam and lab fees: $20
• Textbooks and materials: $60
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

How is Kim doing now?
Rooting for you. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Wish I lived closer to Lalitpur so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City.
hope it all works out, Kim. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Love from Adama
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kim.
It's all in the list in the story. outstanding tuition balance is the big one at $210, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Happy to explain more.
hang in there. This could happen to any of us. Greetings from São Paulo.
Keep going, Kim. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Cần Thơ but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Cần Thơ.
Sending strength. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't give up. Take care.
