Henry has worked and saved for five years to study a computer science degree; a $500 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Obuasi Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $500.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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 $500 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $40
• Textbooks and materials: $50
• Outstanding tuition balance: $410
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

best of luck, Henry. Study hard! I'm in farming myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
you're not alone, Henry. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.

Rooting for you, Henry. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Obuasi.
