Sara is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an accounting degree at Cologne Community College, 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 $2,800. The registrar has said Sara can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Sara has a top-ten-percent average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Sara would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Sara 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 Cologne Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $2,800 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,400 • Textbooks and materials: $320 • Exam and lab fees: $80 With deep gratitude, Ali

            can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Cologne.

              Thank you. If you're in Cologne I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
