One semester away: help Kévin graduate from Calgary Community College
Kévin has worked and saved for three years to study an electrical engineering diploma; a $1,600 gap now stands between him and graduation.

Kévin is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an electrical engineering diploma at Calgary Community College, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,600.
The registrar has said Kévin can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Kévin has a distinction average, and an academic advisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Kévin would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Kévin isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the Calgary Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $210
• Textbooks and materials: $290
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,100
Thanks for being kind about this.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Kévin.
It's all in the list in the story. exam and lab fees is the big one at $210, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. It helps to be asked.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Calgary.
Thank you. If you're in Calgary I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
Thinking of you and your family, Raphaël. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My neighbor in Tel Aviv donated after I showed her your page. God bless
So sorry you're going through this. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust.
Thinking of you, Raphaël. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. God bless.
Sending strength, Raphaël. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Likoni but we're thinking of you. God bless.
Praying for you, Raphaël. Shared this with my family. Greetings from Gwagwalada.
