Elias is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a teaching qualification at Mannheim University, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,800. The registrar has said Elias can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Elias has a 3.9 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 Elias would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Elias 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 Mannheim University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $3,800 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,150 • Final term tuition: $1,500 • Exam and lab fees: $80 • Textbooks and materials: $70 Every share and every dollar helps. - Melanie

      thinking of you, Melanie. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
