[quote=Anonymous]My husband's parents are immigrants who didn't have much to spend on their children's education. The first three got wonderful scholarships and completed their education for reasonable amounts, and the fourth was helped by his brothers. My husband, as the second child, contributed. My husband also got no-interest loans from his older brother when he needed it, and repaid them years later. All the brothers together have put a younger cousin through law school in their home country (much cheaper than here). All this is expected in the diaspora, but my husband was happy to do it. I'm OK with it, because I'd rather have that kind of helping family than my own, a viper's nest of people who knife each other in the back. Can your sister do a work-study program or find paid work while she studies? Maybe help her do that, to lower your contribution. [/quote]
