Brian is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a teaching qualification at Orlando University, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $5,200.
The registrar has said Brian can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Brian has a top-ten-percent 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 Brian would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Brian 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 Orlando University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $5,200 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,000
• Final term tuition: $2,750
• Exam and lab fees: $140
• Textbooks and materials: $310

Wishing you peace, Eli. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I hope December is when things finally get easier. All the best
Rooting for you, Eli. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
rooting for you. Shared this with my family. I'll check back for the next update. All the best.
Good luck, Eli. Study hard!
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Aswan.
Keep going. This could happen to any of us. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Keep going. Shared this with my family. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
