Salvador is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying an electrical engineering diploma at Bogotá Polytechnic, and is two terms away from graduating. He has worked as a barista to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,050. The registrar has said Salvador can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Salvador has a 3.8 average, and an academic advisor has written in support. Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Salvador would lose his place and scholarship eligibility. Salvador isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He started and help the next student. The payment will go directly to the Bogotá Polytechnic bursar's office. I'll post the receipt. Where the $1,050 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $700 • Final term tuition: $250 • Exam and lab fees: $45 • Textbooks and materials: $55 If you're reading this, thank you. - Gabriel

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.
