Christian is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a master's in public health at the Sacramento Institute of Technology, and is one term 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 $2,400. The registrar has said Christian can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Christian has a distinction average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Christian would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Christian isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He 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 $2,400 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $140 • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,100 • Exam and lab fees: $160 Thank you so much. - Heather
