Help needed to make a poor boy pay Engineering Fees

Stephen is currently pursuing his 2nd year B.Tech (IT) in SSN and is a physically challenged student. While being treated for a fall in the well during his early childhood, the doctors found out that he was affected by polio. He studied in the Corporation Boys Higher Secondary School in Saidapet, Chennai and ranked consistently as one among the top 5 in the school. He has 4 sisters and 2 brothers and out of which 3 sisters are in school. His father and brother are doing a business and the family income is around Rs. 7000 a month. Such adverse conditions did not deter him from hitting hard at books during his schooling. He toiled very hard and scored 75% in his higher secondary examinations.He was a Tamil medium student in school and so found going tough during the first semester. His first semester GPA was 5.6, with a backlog in Maths. But he thrived hard to improve on it and spiked his score to 7.8 GPA in the 2nd semester, but still with an backlog in Electronic Devices and Circuits. Despite hailing from a Tamil medium background, he held his ground and improved considerably with his performances.Stephen’s father paid Rs.1 Lakh fees for the first year by borrowing money for interest. In the second year, he had to again borrow money for interest and paid around 65K. They are yet to pay Rs.18,750 for the second year, which is pending. Also, they have bought a laptop in an installment scheme, since it has become a compulsory requirement in SSN. Stephen’s father’s income is just enough to face the daily needs of their family, pay for his brother's and sisters' education and meanwhile repaying the housing loan that they have. Stephen’s classmates have been raising money for his books and fees. HE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR MERIT-CUM-MEANS SCHOLARSHIP, BECAUSE OF ARREARS AND IS IN A FIX ON CONTINUING EDUCATION. At this juncture, Stephen requires help. Help in any form of contribution will help this talented kid climb obstacles and conquer heights.STEPHEN IS REQUESTING HELP . PLEASE DO THE NEEDFUL.
