Robert is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an accounting degree at Laredo University, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $4,850. The registrar has said Robert can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Robert has a top-ten-percent 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 Robert would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Robert isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Laredo University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $4,850 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $2,400 • Final term tuition: $2,050 • Exam and lab fees: $210 • Textbooks and materials: $190 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Jayden

  1. Wanted to say thank you properly. 38% funded and the plan for exam and lab fees is now scheduled.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 25% now ($1,189). I'm honestly stunned. the first invoice got paid this week.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($494 in total) I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
