One semester away: help Dayo graduate from Lagos University
Dayo has worked and saved for five years to study a nursing degree; a $500 gap now stands between him and graduation.

Dayo is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a nursing degree at Lagos University, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $500.
The registrar has said Dayo can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Dayo has a 3.8 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 Dayo would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Dayo 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 Lagos University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $500 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $40
• Final term tuition: $450
• Exam and lab fees: $10

Updates from Bukola
Good news. Because of your gifts ($171 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Small update. $171 so far, the plan for final term tuition is now scheduled.
Quick update: $121 raised so far (24%). the first invoice got paid this week. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
