Kylie is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an agriculture degree at Bakersfield Community College, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,150. The registrar has said Kylie can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Kylie has a 3.6 average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Kylie would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Kylie isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She 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 $3,150 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $410 • Final term tuition: $2,650 • Exam and lab fees: $90 Every share and every dollar helps.

  • wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

    • So sorry you're going through this. Shared it with a few friends. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.
