Elena is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a computer science degree at Calamba University, and is one term away from graduating. She has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $850. The registrar has said Elena can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Elena has a first-class 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 Elena would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Elena 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 Calamba University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $850 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $370 • Final term tuition: $380 • Exam and lab fees: $20 • Textbooks and materials: $80 You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.
