One semester away: help Mercy graduate from Epe Community College
Mercy is one term away from finishing a master's in public health but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $1,000.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a master's in public health at Epe Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,000.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 average, and my department head 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 $1,000 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $500
• Final term tuition: $400
• Exam and lab fees: $50
• Textbooks and materials: $50
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Wishing you peace, Mercy. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Please keep us posted. Take care.

Hang in there. Study hard! I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
