Tammy is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an agriculture degree at Corpus Christi Polytechnic, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,050. The registrar has said Tammy can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Tammy has a 3.9 average, and a department head has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Tammy would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Tammy 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 Corpus Christi Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,050 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $1,600 • Final term tuition: $1,900 • Exam and lab fees: $220 • Textbooks and materials: $330 Thank you so much.

    So sorry you're going through this. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 23 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
