Ruth is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a nursing degree at the Adama Institute of Technology, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $650. The registrar has said Ruth can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Ruth has a 3.6 average, and a faculty supervisor 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $650 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $370 • Final term tuition: $230 • Exam and lab fees: $10 • Textbooks and materials: $40 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Kebede
