Arturo earned a place in Year 10 at Albuquerque International School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the graphic design course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $900, which is more than they have. Arturo loves graphic design and wants to become an architect. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. He will take care of everything given and works very hard. Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag. Where the $900 goes: • Laptop: $440 • School uniform and shoes: $110 • Textbooks and workbooks: $240 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $110 Every share and every dollar helps. - Silvia

    So sorry you're going through this, Silvia. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 24 years in social work I know how hard it's to ask for anything. All the best.
