HELP UDRICK TO FINISH UNIVERSITY

Donation protected

My name is Udrick Tingle; and I attend the Caribbean Maritime University (Kingston), pursuing a Bachelors degree in Customs Processes, Freight Forwarding and Immigration. 
I grew up in a single parent family with 7 siblings, in a community which is considered by surrounding communities as a “ghetto”, with my mother being a helper for a few families, washing and cleaning for them.

After months of volunteering and in and out of temporary jobs, after leaving high school, I finally landed a job at Chukka Caribbean Adventures.

While working there I decided I wanted to go to university (CMU) because I believe that the education of youth is the key to a better nation, and I really do believe that I need to be of the youth who will bring a change; so I saved enough to be able to pay rent, auxiliary fee, books, uniforms, a laptop and enough to send myself to school for the entire year, though it was very difficult seeing I was all on my own doing so.  I made up my mind that all I needed was to start school because I know due to the determination and drive for success, I WAS going to finish school and THANKS BE TO GOD, I have now completed my second year.
Though, going to school in Kingston and working in St. Ann has been really difficult.  I attend school 3 days per week and I work the other 2.  Sometimes I have to leave Kingston right after school, get home at 10-11PM then have to wake at 5:30AM for work then leave at 5:00AM the following morning for school.  Sometimes I get to school, I am really tired and can hardly get the time to finish assignments on time, though I try my best to always do so.

I tried applying for scholarships and grants but haven’t gotten through to any, but one - which I was given after being placed thirds in a local talent competition, which paid about 15%  of my tuition. So I applied for student loan for the year 2019-2020 but was not able to pay the Student loan bureau’s fees in time which led to a cancelation of the loan. So because of that still owe the remaining of year 2019-2020 tuition which caused me not being able to register for the year 2020-2021. 

In order for me to resume in September 2021 I will have to pay last years tuition to clear my account plus the following year’s tuition (which I’m planning on reapplying for student loan).

I really need to help to pay off the arrears/remaining amount in order to clear my account and get to reinstate and be able to finish.
Please help me in being able to finish University. 

God bless you for even taking the time to read this. Please assist me in getting back in school.
