One semester away: help Rafael graduate from Bilbao University
Rafael has worked and saved for three years to study an agriculture degree; a $3,450 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying an agriculture degree at Bilbao University, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a delivery rider to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $3,450.
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 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.
The payment will go directly to the Bilbao University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $3,450 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $1,000
• Final term tuition: $2,150
• Exam and lab fees: $85
• Textbooks and materials: $215
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thanks for sharing this, Rafael. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. All the best
Hope it all works out. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Love from Jakarta Selatan.
You're not alone, Rafael. Hope you get there. Love from Vancouver.
Hope it all works out. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Greetings from Poznań.
