I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Tokyo Community College, and I'm one semester 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 $1,750.
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 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.
The payment will go directly to the Tokyo Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,750 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $150
• Exam and lab fees: $175
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,425
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

65% there. I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance. Thank you.
Good news. Because of your gifts ($580 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
