One semester away: help Felipe graduate from Belém Polytechnic
Felipe has worked and saved for five years to study a pharmacy diploma; a $550 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Belém Polytechnic, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $550.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent average, and my faculty supervisor 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 $550 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $75
• Exam and lab fees: $50
• Outstanding tuition balance: $425
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

Sending love. Shared it with a few friends. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Agra
Sending strength. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
Hope things get better soon, Felipe. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I'm in construction myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
best of luck. Shared it with a few friends. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too
praying for you. I hope things turn around soon. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Rooting for you, Felipe. Hope you get there. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
Wishing you the best, Felipe. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Greetings from Quezon City.

Take care, Felipe. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. All the best.
