One semester away: help Mercy graduate from Kano State College
Mercy is two terms away from finishing a degree in social work but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $500.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Kano State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $500.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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.
The payment will go directly to the Kano State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $500 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $35
• Outstanding tuition balance: $220
• Final term tuition: $245
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Good luck, Mercy. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My husband and I read this together. Love from Kharkiv.
Rooting for you, Mercy. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 40 people at work. Greetings from Hobart
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Mercy?
Sharing the link is the biggest thing. And if you know anything about exam and lab fees, advice is welcome too. It helps to be asked.
Keep going, Mercy. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Love from Cluj-Napoca.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Mercy
It's all in the list in the story. exam and lab fees is the big one at $35, I'll post a receipt when it's paid. Thanks for asking.
Hope things get better soon, Mercy. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I hope October is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Keep going, Mercy. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 16 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Good luck, Mercy. Hope you get there. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
