I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Johannesburg 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 $1,700. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my academic advisor 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. The payment will go directly to the Johannesburg Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,700 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $780 • Final term tuition: $780 • Exam and lab fees: $65 • Textbooks and materials: $75 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself. - Johan

    Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Johannesburg!

      Thank you. If you're in Johannesburg I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Happy to explain more.

    Praying for you, Johan. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Blessings
