Please help me graduate

If you believe that education can change someone's life, please read this:
Hello. My name is Natalia Moura and I am a senior Chemical Engineering student at Tulane University about to graduate in May.
I am originally from Pará, a state in the north of Brazil, and I first came to New Orleans as an exchange student on a scholarship sponsored by the government of my country. Eighteen months later, when such scholarship ended, I applied to be a transfer student at Tulane and was admitted with an academic achievement scholarship award. However, this scholarship has a maximum amount, which of course, does not cover full tuition. I am now running the risk of not being able to graduate and accept the offer I have received to do my master’s and PhD at LSU because I owe Tulane University about $10,000.
Just so that you know a little about me:
I am the first to graduate from college in my family. My grandmother is illiterate, and my parents do not have a high-school degree. Graduating is my dream, and I need your help to make it come true.
I have recently been awarded a full scholarship and a Teaching-Assistantship for a PhD program at LSU. However, my transcript and diploma will not be released because I have a tuition balance at Tulane.
My family cannot afford to help me due to the terrible economic situation in Brazil right now. Most of my friends who live there now are unemployed and cannot help me financially either.
Since I am not an American citizen, I cannot ask for a loan, unless I have an American co-signer.
I am a Dean's List student, who has published two research articles, and I am also a recipient of the William F. Canning Award for Excellence, Leadership and Performance. I have asked the university for a higher scholarship since I have proven that I am committed and dedicated to my studies and work, however, Tulane says there is a maximum amount that can be given to international students, and I have already reached such amount.
In addition to being a full-time Chemical Engineering student, I have two jobs. I work more than 30 hours a week while taking 19 credit hours. I also babysit, dogsit, and tutor. Still I cannot afford to pay my remaining balance.
This is my last semester in school – actually, my last few days - and I desperately need help. I need to pay this balance ASAP or I will keep being charged finance charges because it is past due. My classes at Classes at LSU start on August 22nd, and I must provide my transcript and diploma to them within a month after that date.
I would not be able to express in words how much graduating means to me. I never thought I would get this far coming from such a small city in Brazil and, especially, from such a poor and uneducated family background. I have had help from a lot of friends, who have fed me, given me a place to live, and a shoulder to cry on. I am not giving up now and I really need your help. Your donation will change my life forever, and one day I am sure I will be able to repay every single person who has helped me thus far.
Please help me graduate and get my diploma. You will certainly impact my life with your donation. No matter the amount you can contribute.
