One semester away: help Kaito graduate from Tokyo Community College
A first-generation student, Kaito needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a master's in public health.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Tokyo Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a tutor to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,050.
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 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 $4,050 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,450
• Final term tuition: $2,250
• Exam and lab fees: $230
• Textbooks and materials: $120
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kaito.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. outstanding tuition balance comes first ($1,450) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks, that means a lot.
Thinking of you, Kaito. Hope this works out for you.
stay strong, Kaito. I hope things turn around soon.
Shared it with a few friends. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best
Hope things get better soon, Kaito. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. God bless
Sending good thoughts, Kaito. Hope you get there. God bless.
Best of luck, Kaito. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Wish I lived closer to Cebu City so I could bring a meal. Greetings from Aurora.
