I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Aurora State College, and I'm one term 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 $3,600.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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.
The payment will go directly to the Aurora State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $3,600 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,200
• Final term tuition: $2,050
• Exam and lab fees: $115
• Textbooks and materials: $235
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

hope it all works out, Jonathan. Good luck with the exams, you've got this
Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Los Angeles.
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Greetings from Mukono.
Hope it all works out. Study hard! My neighbor in Kazan donated after I showed her your page.
Hope it all works out, Jonathan. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. After 7 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
