One semester away: help Harini graduate from Salem University
Harini has worked and saved for four years to study a teaching qualification; a $350 gap now stands between her and graduation.

Harini is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a teaching qualification at Salem University, and is two terms away from graduating. She 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 $350.
The registrar has said Harini can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Harini has a top-ten-percent average, and a department head has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Harini would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Harini 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 Salem University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $350 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $300
• Exam and lab fees: $25
• Textbooks and materials: $25
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

So sorry you're going through this, Lakshmi. Hope this works out for you. After 25 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
Stay strong, Lakshmi. Hope this works out for you. I have a 17 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Stay strong. Hope you get there. After 22 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless
Sending strength, Lakshmi. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
So sorry you're going through this, Lakshmi. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.
