I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Dhaka State College, and I'm one semester 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 $600. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction average, and my professor 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 $600 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $165 • Final term tuition: $380 • Exam and lab fees: $25 • Textbooks and materials: $30 Thanks for reading all this. - Karim

  • I hope things turn around soon. I have a 7 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings

    • Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 2 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      • Stay strong, Karim. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

        • Hope things get better soon, Karim. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Thinking of Dhaka.

          • Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 19 people at work. God bless.

              Thinking of you, Karim. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
