Story
Let me tell you about Fidel.
This is Roxana, his mother. I supported and raised my two sons on my own since 2007 when my beloved husband and the father of my two sons died during a liver transplant. I have managed, through hard work, to pay the tuition for their college's studies. But with the current situation of the country every day it's getting harder.
My first son, Fidel, recently graduated from college with a degree in Economics, he received an honorable mention in his degree thesis.
He received immediately opportunities to expand his studies doing a Master's degree. He received acceptation letter from two prestigious colleges from Spain, the University of Vigo and the University of Santiago de Compostela.
He also received the opportunity to opt for a scholarship given by the Xunta de Galicia (Regional Government of Galicia), unfortunately he was not selected among the beneficiaries of the scholarship (only by 20 people). He decided to pursue a Master's Degree in Economics by the University of Vigo.
He really wants to expand his studies with a master's degree and I can't pay for it, here in Venezuela we barely can pay for food.
Our goal of $5,000 is to finance two years of tuition, books, and education expenses for Fidel. We'll need the first $2500 of it in April 2019 for his first year of tuition. Living expenses are around $300/month and tuition $1200, flight $500.
Thank you for taking the time to read about Fidel's story. If you can contribute anything, it will be appreciated. If you can't afford to contribute - will you pass this along to someone who might?

I am a retired radiologist from Venezuela. I would like to pay for the master's degree by myself but the situation in Venezuela has worsened so I have to ask for your kind help.
