Liya is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a pharmacy diploma at Addis Ababa State College, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $450.
The registrar has said Liya can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Liya has a 3.6 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 Liya would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Liya isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the Addis Ababa State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $450 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $145
• Final term tuition: $250
• Exam and lab fees: $30
• Textbooks and materials: $25
I hope life is good to you.

Updates from Kaleb
Good news. Because of your gifts ($508 in total) I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Thank you all. We're at 43% now ($195). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

Is there anything that isn't money that would help Liya?
Rooting for you, Kaleb. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Wish I lived closer to Thane so I could bring a meal
thanks for sharing this, Kaleb. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 14 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Blessings.
Wishing you peace, Kaleb. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Thinking of Addis Ababa.
Best of luck. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Addis Ababa.
Wishing you peace. This could happen to any of us. I hope May is when things finally get easier. Love from Madrid
