Rania is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in civil engineering at Durham Community College, 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 $5,400. The registrar has said Rania can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Rania has a first-class 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 Rania would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Rania 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 Durham Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $5,400 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,950 • Final term tuition: $3,000 • Exam and lab fees: $220 • Textbooks and materials: $230 I hope life is good to you.

      I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 28 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
