One semester away: help Ghada graduate from Heliopolis Community College
Ghada is two terms away from finishing a degree in civil engineering but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $900.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Heliopolis Community College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $900.
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 $900 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $65
• Outstanding tuition balance: $350
• Final term tuition: $485
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Updates from Ghada
Good news. Because of your gifts ($400 in total) I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 37% funded and I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance.

stay strong. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 6 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything
hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings
best of luck, Ghada. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. God bless.
Hang in there. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings
sending love, Ghada. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
