I am Gabriel Mazon, I'm 16 years old, and I came to a Christian school in the United States from Brazil. I am trying to raise money to come back to this school next year. I have grown so much as a person and especially as a Christian here at Hillcrest, and my dream is to become a surgeon and help people.

I am trying to help bridge the tuition gap to return to Hillcrest my 11th grade year. Your support is greatly appreciated!! Lord willing, I am able to reach my goal. However, if I don’t reach my goal for 11th grade, I will use those funds towards my 12th grade year. If that opportunity still does not happen, rest assured the funds you have donated will go towards the Hillcrest Scholarship Fund that helps student’s in financial need.

There is a big difference in value between the US Dollar and Brazilian Reais. The cost for me to attend Hillcrest in the US for one year is equal to the cost of buying a small apartment in Brazil. As you can see, your support makes a high difference in helping me and my family afford my continuing studies at Hillcrest.
