One semester away: help Patrick graduate from Obuasi State College
Patrick has worked and saved for five years to study a teaching qualification; a $900 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a teaching qualification at Obuasi State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $900.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 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 $900 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $40
• Outstanding tuition balance: $400
• Final term tuition: $460
Thank you so much.

praying for you, Patrick. Study hard! Take care
Hope it all works out. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best!
Wishing you the best, Patrick. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
stay strong. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.
Rooting for you, Patrick. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in San Cristóbal de las Casas but we're thinking of you. Greetings from San Cristóbal de las Casas.
