I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a diploma in hospitality management at Riyadh State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,550. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class average, and my academic advisor 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 $3,550 goes: โ€ข Final term tuition: $1,650 โ€ข Outstanding tuition balance: $1,750 โ€ข Exam and lab fees: $150 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    Hang in there, Manal. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double

    • Lorenzo E. Santos

      Hope it all works out. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I went through something like this 13 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.

      • Lorenzo A. Luna

        Keep going, Manal. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.

        • Srinivas F. Acharya

          Thinking of you and your family, Manal. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
