Gabriela is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a master's in public health at Santos State College, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,650. The registrar has said Gabriela can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Gabriela has a first-class average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Gabriela would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Gabriela isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Santos State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,650 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $360 • Textbooks and materials: $75 • Final term tuition: $1,215 Thank you for reading my story. - Letícia

  • Wishing you peace, Letícia. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.

    • Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Gabriela

      • The list at the bottom is the whole picture. outstanding tuition balance is the biggest at $360. Thanks for looking so closely.

    • It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 28 years in logistics I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Buffalo.

      • hang in there, Letícia. It takes guts to ask. Well done. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best.

        • hang in there. This could happen to any of us. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Blessings.

          • Thinking of you and your family. Study hard! I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
