I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in social work at Patna Community College, and I'm two terms 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 $700. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a first-class 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $700 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $230 • Final term tuition: $430 • Exam and lab fees: $25 • Textbooks and materials: $15 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Vikas

    you're not alone, Vikas. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings

      Hope things get better soon, Vikas. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out.

      • Rajesh Kashyap

        stay strong, Vikas. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.

        • Layla Dalia Hamid

          This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Mumbai donated after I showed her your page. God bless.
