Tuition fund for Lesego: a degree in social work at the Ekurhuleni Institute of Technology
A first-generation student, Lesego needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in social work.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at the Ekurhuleni Institute of Technology, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,500.
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 faculty supervisor 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 the Ekurhuleni Institute of Technology bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $710
• Final term tuition: $710
• Exam and lab fees: $20
• Textbooks and materials: $60
I hope life is good to you.

Sending strength, Lesego. Hope this works out for you. Take care!
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Ekurhuleni.
Shared this with my family. Sent it to 20 people at work. Love from Half-Way Tree
how is Lesego doing now?
good luck, Lesego. Looking forward to the next update. Don't give up. Thinking of Ekurhuleni
Good luck with the exams, you've got this. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
Shared it with a few friends. I have a 12 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
Thinking of you and your family. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
hang in there, Lesego. Hope you get there. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care.
praying for you, Lesego. Study hard! This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Tampa!
