One semester away: help Ruth graduate from San Jose State College

Ruth is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an agriculture degree at San Jose State College, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $5,800. The registrar has said Ruth can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Ruth has a distinction average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Ruth would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Ruth isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the San Jose State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $5,800 goes: • Final term tuition: $3,800 • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,750 • Textbooks and materials: $250 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
