Manuela is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in social work at the São Paulo Institute of Technology, and is two terms away from graduating. She has worked as a night-shift cleaner to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,450. The registrar has said Manuela can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Manuela has a 3.6 average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Manuela would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Manuela isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She 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 $1,450 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $840 • Final term tuition: $480 • Exam and lab fees: $50 • Textbooks and materials: $80 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

          Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.

          • Thanks for sharing this, Daniela. I hope things turn around soon. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
