Lucy is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in social work at Nairobi State College, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $300. The registrar has said Lucy can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Lucy has a distinction 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 Lucy would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Lucy 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 $300 goes: • Textbooks and materials: $60 • Exam and lab fees: $15 • Outstanding tuition balance: $225 I hope life is good to you. - Waweru

  • Best of luck, Waweru. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Thinking of Nairobi.

    • rooting for you, Waweru. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We're a small family in Santos but we're thinking of you. Love from Santos.

      • Keep going, Waweru. Hope this works out for you. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
