Ribeirão Preto
Aparecida is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an accounting degree at Ribeirão Preto Polytechnic, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,000. The registrar has said Aparecida can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Aparecida has a top-ten-percent average, and a professor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Aparecida would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Aparecida 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 Ribeirão Preto Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,000 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $910 • Exam and lab fees: $60 • Textbooks and materials: $30 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Cristiane

Updates from Cristiane

  1. Update from Ribeirão Preto: the plan for textbooks and materials is now scheduled. We're at 55% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Good news. Because of your gifts ($671 in total) we've started the first stage. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  3. Wanted to say thank you properly. 42% funded and I made the first payment toward outstanding tuition balance.
