Envigado
Mónica is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying an accounting degree at the Envigado Institute of Technology, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,000. The registrar has said Mónica can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Mónica has a top-ten-percent average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Mónica would lose her place and scholarship eligibility. Mónica 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 $1,000 goes: • Exam and lab fees: $50 • Outstanding tuition balance: $510 • Final term tuition: $440 Thank you so much. - Inés

Updates from Inés

  1. Small update. $201 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  2. Thank you all. We're at 14% now ($141). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward final term tuition.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($71 in total) I met with the university and confirmed the amounts. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    stay strong. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Greetings from Campinas.

      Sending strength. 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. Take care.

        Thanks for sharing this. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 22 years in accounting I know how hard it's to ask for anything
