I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a pharmacy diploma at Campinas Community College, and I'm one semester away from graduating. I have worked as a library 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 first-class average, and my department head 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 Campinas Community College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,200 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $570 • Final term tuition: $510 • Exam and lab fees: $65 • Textbooks and materials: $55 Thank you so much.

Updates from Raimundo

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($288 in total) I made the first payment toward exam and lab fees. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Wanted to say thank you properly. 8% funded and the plan for outstanding tuition balance is now scheduled. - Raimundo

    So sorry you're going through this, Raimundo. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Take care

    • Best of luck, Raimundo. Hope this works out for you. Love from Newcastle upon Tyne.

      • Thanks for sharing this. Study hard! Put this on a community board in Toronto this morning.

        • Sending love, Raimundo. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected

          • hang in there. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Greetings from Moscow
