Trupti's final semester of a teaching qualification in Kolkata
Trupti has worked and saved for five years to study a teaching qualification; a $550 gap now stands between her and graduation.

Trupti is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a teaching qualification at the Kolkata Institute of Technology, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $550.
The registrar has said Trupti can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Trupti has a 3.8 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 Trupti would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Trupti 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 $550 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $15
• Outstanding tuition balance: $310
• Final term tuition: $225
I hope life is good to you.

Thinking of you and your family, Girish. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Thinking of Kolkata.
Praying for you, Girish. I hope things turn around soon. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. Love from Ekurhuleni.
Hope things get better soon, Girish. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Hope things get better soon, Girish. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
Sending love. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Sent it to 39 people at work. Love from Gwagwalada.
wishing you peace, Girish. Hope you get there. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Greetings from Abbottabad
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.
Thanks for sharing this, Girish. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
