Vanessa's final semester of a nursing degree in Niterói
Vanessa has worked and saved for five years to study a nursing degree; a $950 gap now stands between her and graduation.

I'm the first person in my family to go to university. I'm studying a nursing degree at Niterói State College, 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 $950.
The registrar has told me I can't enroll for the next term until the balance is cleared. I have a 3.6 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.
The payment will go directly to the Niterói State College bursar's office. I'll post the receipt.
Where the $950 goes:
• Outstanding tuition balance: $840
• Exam and lab fees: $30
• Textbooks and materials: $80

Wishing you peace, Vanessa. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Greetings from Ribeirão Preto.
Rooting for you, Vanessa. Shared this with my family. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best
as a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I'll check back for the next update. God bless.
Good luck. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless
Wishing you the best, Vanessa. Your post was clear and honest. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless.
Hope it all works out, Vanessa. Hope this works out for you. Love from Xalapa.
Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Wish I lived closer to Lalitpur so I could bring a meal
