Salvador
I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a computer science degree at Salvador State College, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a library assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,050. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 average, and my professor has written in support of my application for a payment plan. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support my younger siblings. Without enrolling this term I'd lose my place and my scholarship eligibility. I'm not asking for a handout - I want to finish what I started and then 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 $1,050 goes: • Final term tuition: $400 • Textbooks and materials: $50 • Outstanding tuition balance: $600 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

    Take care, Fábio. Shared this with my family. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care

              can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Salvador.
