Valentyna is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a nursing degree at the Kyiv Institute of Technology, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a library assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $800. The registrar has said Valentyna can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Valentyna has a 3.9 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 Valentyna would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Valentyna isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She 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 $800 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $450 • Final term tuition: $240 • Exam and lab fees: $40 • Textbooks and materials: $70 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Stepan

Updates from Stepan

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 44% funded and we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  2. Small update. $235 so far, we've started the first stage.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($88 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
