Palmira
Gustavo is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an accounting degree at Palmira Community College, and is two terms away from graduating. He 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 $1,600. The registrar has said Gustavo can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Gustavo has a 3.6 average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Gustavo would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Gustavo isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $1,600 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $690 • Final term tuition: $870 • Exam and lab fees: $25 • Textbooks and materials: $15 If you're reading this, thank you.
