Femi is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an accounting degree at Onitsha University, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $650.
The registrar has said Femi can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Femi has a 3.8 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 Femi would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Femi 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 Onitsha University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $650 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $120
• Final term tuition: $480
• Exam and lab fees: $40
• Textbooks and materials: $10
I hope life is good to you.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Onitsha
Thank you. If you're in Onitsha I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Sending strength. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Chennai so I could bring a meal.
take care, Abubakar. I hope things turn around soon. Take care.
