One semester away: help Upendo graduate from Kikuyu State College
Upendo is one term away from finishing a nursing degree but is blocked from enrolling by an unpaid balance of $650.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Kikuyu State College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $650.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a distinction average, and my professor has written in support of my application for a payment plan.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility.
I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then 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: $195
• Final term tuition: $410
• Exam and lab fees: $20
• Textbooks and materials: $25
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Thinking of you, Upendo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
thanks for sharing this, Upendo. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
Hope things get better soon, Upendo. I hope things turn around soon. Greetings from Semarang
Thinking of you. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Cologne
