One semester away: help Luiz graduate from Rio de Janeiro University

Luiz is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a degree in civil engineering at Rio de Janeiro University, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a warehouse packer to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $800. The registrar has said Luiz can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Luiz has a top-ten-percent 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 Luiz would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Luiz isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and 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 $800 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $320 • Final term tuition: $300 • Exam and lab fees: $85 • Textbooks and materials: $95 Thank you for reading my story.
