Chhaya is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an accounting degree at Mumbai State College, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $700.
The registrar has said Chhaya can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Chhaya has a first-class 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 Chhaya would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Chhaya 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 $700 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $170
• Final term tuition: $460
• Exam and lab fees: $45
• Textbooks and materials: $25
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

hang in there, Ravi. 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 Magelang.
