One semester away: help Gabriela graduate from Feira de Santana University
A first-generation student, Gabriela needs help covering tuition for the final stretch of a degree in civil engineering.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Feira de Santana University, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,550.
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 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 $1,550 goes:
• Textbooks and materials: $55
• Outstanding tuition balance: $870
• Final term tuition: $625

Good luck, Gabriela. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
Hang in there, Gabriela. Shared it with a few friends. My husband and I read this together.
Praying for you, Gabriela. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes
