An is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a diploma in hospitality management at the Hồ Chí Minh City Institute of Technology, and is one term away from graduating. He 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 $650.
The registrar has said An can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. An has a 3.8 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 An would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
An isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He 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 $650 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $380
• Final term tuition: $170
• Exam and lab fees: $40
• Textbooks and materials: $60
Thank you so much.

Thanks for sharing this, Công. Shared it with a few friends. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope December is when things finally get easier. Thinking of Hồ Chí Minh City.
Stay strong, Công. Shared it with a few friends. It's not much but it's yours. Blessings.
Stay strong, Công. This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
