Elisabeth is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an electrical engineering diploma at Berlin Polytechnic, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,550.
The registrar has said Elisabeth can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Elisabeth 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 Elisabeth would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Elisabeth isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the Berlin Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $4,550 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,500
• Final term tuition: $2,550
• Exam and lab fees: $230
• Textbooks and materials: $270
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

Sending strength. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Brampton.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Put this on a community board in Addis Ababa this morning.
Hope things get better soon, Horst. I hope things turn around soon. It's not much but it's yours.
Good luck, Horst. Shared this with my family. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
wishing you peace, Horst. Your post was clear and honest!
