Help Htet Htet finish her last college semester

Posted Aug 9, 2019
Htet Htet recently was hit with some devastating news. She may need to withdraw from college, just one semester short of graduation. This all started when she found out that her student loans for the summer did not apply as they should have, all because she was forced to drop one class because the textbooks were too expensive. Since her summer loans were not effective, she now has to pay the full balance before she is able to choose her fall schedule. This is her last year of school and she don’t want to be pushed behind because she can’t afford this back-payment. She has scholarships that are coming in, but they can’t be applied until the fall starts. And if she is not in class, she will lose those scholarships . Let's get Htet Htet back in school!

Htet Htet is 28 years old and lives in LA

"Hi Htet Htet. I just had to take a semester off from school because of family issues, and that was hard enough. I would be devastated if I had to face quitting with one semester to go...so I just couldn't pass up granting your wish. Good luck with all your classes! I'll be thinking of you when I'm buried in homework next month. :)"
