I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at the Epe Institute of Technology, and I'm one semester 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 $450.
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 department head 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $450 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $30
• Outstanding tuition balance: $360
• Textbooks and materials: $60
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Esther
Good news. Because of your gifts ($35 in total) I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 26% now ($115). I'm honestly stunned. the plan for textbooks and materials is now scheduled.

Praying for you. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Wishing you peace. Shared it with a few friends. Love from Coyoacán.
Praying for you. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry!
