Sarah is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a computer science degree at the Lethbridge Institute of Technology, and is one semester 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 $4,650. The registrar has said Sarah can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Sarah has a 3.9 average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Sarah would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Sarah 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 the Lethbridge Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,650 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $290 • Final term tuition: $1,850 • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,510 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Zoey
