One semester away: help Lucas graduate from Porto Alegre Polytechnic
Lucas has worked and saved for five years to study a pharmacy diploma; a $1,050 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 Porto Alegre Polytechnic, and I'm one term away from graduating. I have worked as a warehouse packer 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 3.9 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: $860
• Textbooks and materials: $110
• Exam and lab fees: $80
I hope life is good to you.

Hope this works out for you. After 15 years in construction I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Greetings from Mumbai.
Thanks for sharing this, Lucas. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected.
Wishing you peace. I hope things turn around soon. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from Cầu Giấy.
wishing you the best, Lucas. Hope this works out for you. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it
Hope it all works out, Lucas. Your post was clear and honest. After 14 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. God bless.
Praying for you, Lucas. Study hard! Put this on a community board in Gothenburg this morning. Thinking of Porto Alegre.
best of luck, Lucas. Study hard! My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care
so sorry you're going through this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My husband and I read this together.
sending good thoughts. Gave what I could, wish it was more. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like
So sorry you're going through this. This could happen to any of us. Love from Québec.
Wishing you peace, Lucas. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Bornova.
