Robert's final semester of a teaching qualification in Birmingham
A first-generation student, Robert needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a teaching qualification.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom6,289 views
Robert is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a teaching qualification at Birmingham Community College, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $3,700.
The registrar has said Robert can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Robert has a distinction 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 Robert would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Robert isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the Birmingham Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $3,700 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,100
• Final term tuition: $1,200
• Exam and lab fees: $70
• Textbooks and materials: $330
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 22 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
Keep going, Sadie. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My neighbor in Bogotá donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
Wishing you the best, Sadie. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My neighbor in Angeles donated after I showed her your page. Take care.
Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Oakland.
praying for you. Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Birmingham.
good luck, Sadie. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry
Sending love, Sadie. Your post was clear and honest. Take care.
Sending good thoughts, Sadie. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
