Caloocan
Vanessa is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in social work at Caloocan Polytechnic, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a tutor to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $500. The registrar has said Vanessa can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Vanessa has a 3.9 average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Vanessa would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Vanessa isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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 $500 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $50 • Final term tuition: $410 • Textbooks and materials: $40 Thanks for reading all this. - Rhea

    Hope things get better soon, Rhea. Looking forward to the next update. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Greetings from Mumbai.
