I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Mumbai Community College, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,150.
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 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $1,150 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $510
• Final term tuition: $550
• Exam and lab fees: $45
• Textbooks and materials: $45
Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.

Take care. Study hard! My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
what's already covered and what's the $1,150 for?
Best of luck. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. God bless
Hope it all works out, Srinivas. Shared this with my family. Wish I lived closer to Patras so I could bring a meal.
How is Srinivas doing now?
Hang in there. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care.
Hope it all works out. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Calgary this morning. Blessings
Take care, Srinivas. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 7 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Mumbai.
Looking forward to the next update. Thinking of Mumbai.
You're not alone, Srinivas. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Edmonton donated after I showed her your page. God bless
Best of luck, Srinivas. Your post was clear and honest. I hope May is when things finally get easier
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
