One semester away: help Asher graduate from the Los Angeles Institute of Technology
A first-generation student, Asher needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a teaching qualification.
🇺🇸 California, United States543 views
Asher is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a teaching qualification at the Los Angeles Institute of Technology, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,100.
The registrar has said Asher can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Asher has a 3.9 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 Asher would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Asher isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the the Los Angeles Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $4,100 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $200
• Exam and lab fees: $330
• Final term tuition: $3,570
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thinking of you and your family. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Greetings from New Delhi.
Praying for you, Josiah. It takes guts to ask. Well done. It's not much but it's yours. All the best.
Sending strength, Josiah. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. All the best
