One semester away: help Jericho graduate from Caloocan University
A first-generation student, Jericho needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a pharmacy diploma.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Caloocan University, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $350.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class average, and my academic advisor 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 $350 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $45
• Exam and lab fees: $20
• Final term tuition: $285
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

So sorry you're going through this. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Hope it all works out, Jericho. Hope this works out for you. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Dhaka.
Keep going, Jericho. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
