Dominik is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a nursing degree at the Dortmund 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 $3,750. The registrar has said Dominik can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Dominik has a 3.8 average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Dominik would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Dominik 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 the Dortmund Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $3,750 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,550 • Final term tuition: $1,050 • Exam and lab fees: $150 With deep gratitude, Tim

  • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Dominik?

    • Thank you. If you're in Dortmund I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.

    Sending love, Tim. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 25 people at work. God bless.

    • Keep going. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Dortmund.

      • Wishing you peace, Tim. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day.

        • Sending strength. Study hard! All the best

          • is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Dominik.

            • It's all in the list in the story. outstanding tuition balance is the big one at $2,550, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. I'll keep the page updated.

          • Looking forward to the next update. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings!

            • You're not alone, Tim. Study hard! I have a 8 year old who wants to send good wishes too. God bless.

              • Stay strong, Tim. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

                • Wishing you peace, Tim. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. Greetings from Dar es Salaam.

                  • sending strength. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. All the best

                    • you're not alone. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 25 people at work. Love from San Antonio.
