One semester away: help Raimundo graduate from Campinas Community College
Raimundo has worked and saved for three years to study a pharmacy diploma; 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 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
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.
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
