Raquel's final semester of a degree in social work in Caxias do Sul
Raquel has worked and saved for five years to study a degree in social work; a $1,250 gap now stands between her and graduation.

Raquel is the first person in the family to go to university. She is studying a degree in social work at the Caxias do Sul Institute of Technology, and is one semester away from graduating. She has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,250.
The registrar has said Raquel can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Raquel has a 3.9 average, and a department head has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Raquel would lose her place and scholarship eligibility.
Raquel isn't asking for a handout - She wants to finish what She started and 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 $1,250 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $290
• Final term tuition: $850
• Exam and lab fees: $35
• Textbooks and materials: $75
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

how is Raquel doing now?
It takes guts to ask. Well done. My neighbor in Los Angeles donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
so sorry you're going through this, Luiz. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up. Thinking of Caxias do Sul
Praying for you, Luiz. This could happen to any of us. Love from Tampa.
Hope this works out for you. Love from Pretoria.
Stay strong, Luiz. I hope things turn around soon. We're a small family in São Paulo but we're thinking of you.
Thinking of you and your family, Luiz. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless!
Hang in there, Luiz. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 22 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything.
Thanks for sharing this. Shared this with my family. My husband and I read this together
Stay strong, Luiz. Your post was clear and honest. Sent it to 16 people at work. Take care.
