Parramatta
Lily is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in civil engineering at Parramatta Community College, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $5,350. The registrar has said Lily can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Lily has a 3.8 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 Lily would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Lily isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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 $5,350 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $3,050 • Final term tuition: $2,000 • Textbooks and materials: $300 Thanks for being kind about this.

      Best of luck. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. It's not much but it's yours. Thinking of Parramatta.

        Sending good thoughts, Josephine. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too

          Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 31 people at work. God bless.
