Cristiane is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a law degree at Santos State College, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,450. The registrar has said Cristiane can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Cristiane has a 3.6 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 Cristiane would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Cristiane isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She 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 $1,450 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $700 • Final term tuition: $640 • Exam and lab fees: $30 • Textbooks and materials: $80 Glad we found this place.

Updates from Luciana

  1. Update from Santos: I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. We're at 68% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Quick update: $731 raised so far (50%). the plan for final term tuition is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($216 in total) I made the first payment toward exam and lab fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
