Takeshi is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an agriculture degree at Sakai State College, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,500. The registrar has said Takeshi can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Takeshi has a first-class 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 Takeshi would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Takeshi isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He 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 $4,500 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,000 • Final term tuition: $2,100 • Exam and lab fees: $125 • Textbooks and materials: $275 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Hina

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($1,912 in total) the plan for textbooks and materials is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Quick update: $365 raised so far (8%). we've started the first stage. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

                          Good luck, Hina. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

                          • Wishing you the best, Hina. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Erie.
