Tuition fund for Manuel: a degree in social work at Los Angeles University
Manuel has worked and saved for three years to study a degree in social work; a $4,950 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Los Angeles University, and I'm one term 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 $4,950.
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.
The payment will go directly to the Los Angeles University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $4,950 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $2,550
• Final term tuition: $2,000
• Exam and lab fees: $185
• Textbooks and materials: $215
Thanks for being kind about this.

Take care, Manuel. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My neighbor in Nashik donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Hope you get there. Sent it to 18 people at work. All the best
this could happen to any of us. Don't give up. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Stay strong, Manuel. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best
Thanks for sharing this, Manuel. Looking forward to the next update. God bless.
Your post was clear and honest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Gazipur.
