One semester away: help Mana graduate from Sakai Community College
Mana is two terms away from finishing a degree in civil engineering but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $1,650.
🇯🇵 Sakai, Osaka, Japan1,234 views
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Sakai Community College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,650.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction average, and my professor has written in support of my application for a payment plan.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility.
I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then 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 $1,650 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $210
• Final term tuition: $1,300
• Exam and lab fees: $140
With deep gratitude,
Mana

Praying for you, Mana. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Love from Springfield.
Wishing you the best. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Sakai
sending love. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Thinking of Sakai.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Hanoi
thanks for sharing this. Shared it with a few friends. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Rooting for you, Mana. Looking forward to the next update. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
sending good thoughts, Mana. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My neighbor in Gangnam donated after I showed her your page. Greetings from Gangnam.

Praying for you, Mana. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Blessings.
Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 3 people at work. Greetings from Brisbane!
Thinking of you and your family. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. Don't give up. God bless.
Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Magelang but we're thinking of you.
Hang in there, Mana. Hope you get there. Blessings.
so sorry you're going through this, Mana. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Duque de Caxias this morning. Blessings.
