One semester away: help Sérgio graduate from Salvador Community College
Sérgio has worked and saved for three years to study a degree in civil engineering; a $1,650 gap now stands between him and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at Salvador Community College, and I'm one term 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 $1,650.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a top-ten-percent 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.
Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees.
Where the $1,650 goes:
• Exam and lab fees: $90
• Outstanding tuition balance: $790
• Final term tuition: $770
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

you're not alone, Sérgio. This could happen to any of us.
Hope things get better soon, Sérgio. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My neighbor in Christchurch donated after I showed her your page. God bless!
