Landon is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a computer science degree at Newcastle upon Tyne Community College, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $2,550. The registrar has said Landon can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Landon has a 3.9 average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Landon would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Landon 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 Newcastle upon Tyne Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $2,550 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $260 • Final term tuition: $2,150 • Exam and lab fees: $140 Glad we found this place. - Ian

Updates from Ian

  1. Update from Newcastle upon Tyne: I made the first payment toward textbooks and materials. We're at 88% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Small update. $687 so far, we've started the first stage.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($552 in total) the first invoice got paid this week. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
