Thiago is the first person in the family to go to university. He is studying a master's in public health at Caxias do Sul Community College, and is one semester away from graduating. He has worked as a shop assistant to pay the way, but this term the hours were cut and there's an unpaid balance of $1,800.
The registrar has said Thiago can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. Thiago has a 3.6 average, and a faculty supervisor has written in support.
Graduating means a stable job and the chance to support the younger siblings. Without enrolling this term Thiago would lose his place and scholarship eligibility.
Thiago isn't asking for a handout - He wants to finish what He 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 $1,800 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $630
• Final term tuition: $970
• Exam and lab fees: $70
• Textbooks and materials: $130
Thanks for being kind about this.

Small update. $1,127 so far, I made the first payment toward final term tuition.
Update from Caxias do Sul: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 28% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Caxias do Sul.
Thank you. If you're in Caxias do Sul I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Let me know if you want more detail.
Sending love, Amanda. Hope you get there. Wish I lived closer to Mysuru so I could bring a meal. Take care.
How is Thiago doing now?
Take care, Amanda. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. I'm in retail myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Blessings
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Rio Grande do Sul. I'll ask around and let you know.
You're not alone, Amanda. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
Thinking of you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Caxias do Sul!
Best of luck. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Spokane but we're thinking of you.
