Terry is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a pharmacy diploma at the Joliet Institute of Technology, and is one term away from graduating. He has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $2,200.
The registrar has said Terry can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Terry has a first-class 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 Terry would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Terry 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 $2,200 goes:
• Final term tuition: $1,800
• Textbooks and materials: $290
• Exam and lab fees: $110
Thanks for reading all this.

Stay strong, Taylor. Hope this works out for you. All the best.
thinking of you. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 19 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Joliet.
Thank you. If you're in Joliet I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
good luck, Taylor. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Hồ Chí Minh City
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Terry
Sure. The biggest one is final term tuition, $1,800. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Good question.
Sending love, Taylor. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
any update on how things are going in Joliet?
Hang in there. Shared it with a few friends. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. Blessings.
Hope it all works out, Taylor. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
Sending strength. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Blessings.
looking forward to the next update. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
Sending love. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
Hope it all works out. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. All the best.
Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Love from Madurai.
Best of luck, Taylor. It takes guts to ask. Well done. All the best
Rooting for you, Taylor. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.
