I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a degree in civil engineering at the São Paulo Institute of Technology, and I'm two terms away from graduating. I have worked as a barista to pay my way, but this term my hours were cut and I have an unpaid balance of $1,350. The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.8 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. Everything raised goes to the university's accounts office toward the outstanding balance and the final term's fees. Where the $1,350 goes: • Outstanding tuition balance: $480 • Final term tuition: $800 • Exam and lab fees: $25 • Textbooks and materials: $45 Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

      Thanks for sharing this, Regina. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Wish I lived closer to Springfield so I could bring a meal. Take care

          Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 7 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care

            Rooting for you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
