One semester away: help Chihiro graduate from Tokyo Community College
Chihiro has worked and saved for five years to study a diploma in hospitality management; a $2,200 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Tokyo Community College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $2,200.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 average, and my department head 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $2,200 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $960
• Final term tuition: $970
• Exam and lab fees: $135
• Textbooks and materials: $135
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending love, Chihiro. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings.
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. We're a small family in Cebu City but we're thinking of you. God bless.

you're not alone, Chihiro. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Wish I lived closer to Durgapur so I could bring a meal.
Thinking of you, Chihiro. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. God bless
