Andrés is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a master's in public health at Barranquilla Community College, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a delivery rider to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $950.
The registrar has said Andrés can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Andrés has a distinction average, and a department head has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Andrés would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Andrés isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student.
The payment will go directly to the Barranquilla Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $950 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $410
• Final term tuition: $380
• Exam and lab fees: $65
• Textbooks and materials: $95

Updates from Gerardo
Good news. Because of your gifts ($420 in total) the plan for textbooks and materials is now scheduled. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
Wanted to say thank you properly. 18% funded and I made the first payment toward exam and lab fees.

Hope this works out for you. Don't give up. God bless.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Barranquilla.
Thank you. If you're in Barranquilla I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.
shared this with my family. Thinking of Barranquilla
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Atlántico. I'll ask around and let you know.
Thinking of you, Gerardo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Limerick.
Sending love, Gerardo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours
