I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at London University, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,750. 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 professor 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. The payment will go directly to the London University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $3,750 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,150 • Final term tuition: $1,200 • Exam and lab fees: $230 • Textbooks and materials: $170 Thank you so much.

        Wishing you peace. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Mohammedia donated after I showed her your page. All the best.

              Take care, Derek. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Mumbai so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
