I just found out from my cousin, Sydnee, that her friend from Brazil is going to be deported if he doesn't earn enough money to pay his schooling debts. He has been struggling with some health problems and had to withdraw from classes. As a result, he has a hold on his record and can't add classes until he can pay the fines-- but as an international student he can only work on campus and BYU won't let him work on campus unless he's signed up for classes in the fall. You can see how he's stuck in a downward spiral.
So, I'd encourage all of you to donate to his cause, even if it's just $10. I know I'd want someone to do the same for me if I were in that situation. Go to www.savepaulo.blogspot.com to find out more and to donate.
God does notice us and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs. Therefore, it is vital that we serve each other in the kingdom."
