Shawn's final semester of an accounting degree in Manchester
Shawn has worked and saved for four years to study an accounting degree; a $4,850 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an accounting degree at Manchester Community College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $4,850.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.9 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 $4,850 goes:
• Final term tuition: $3,000
• Exam and lab fees: $180
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,670
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Hope things get better soon, Shawn. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did.
Best of luck, Shawn. I hope things turn around soon. Sent it to 8 people at work. Greetings from Dar es Salaam
