One semester away: help Rafael graduate from Olinda University
Rafael has worked and saved for four years to study a law degree; a $1,200 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a law degree at Olinda University, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a shop assistant to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,200.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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.
The payment will go directly to the Olinda University bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $1,200 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $680
• Final term tuition: $370
• Exam and lab fees: $95
• Textbooks and materials: $55
With deep gratitude,
Rafael

Sending good thoughts. This could happen to any of us. We're a small family in Varanasi but we're thinking of you. Greetings from Varanasi.
Is there anything that isn't money that would help Rafael?
Thank you. If you're in Olinda I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. I'll keep the page updated.
Wishing you the best. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Minneapolis.
Sending love, Rafael. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Sent it to 4 people at work. Greetings from Leeds.
Hang in there. This could happen to any of us. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Love from Valencia.
thinking of you, Rafael. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Take care
Rooting for you, Rafael. Looking forward to the next update. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
