Back-to-school fund for Cristina
Help Cristina begin Year 10 with a laptop, uniform and books.
🇲🇽 San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas, Mexico763 views
Cristina earned a place in Year 10 at the San Cristóbal de las Casas Selective School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the design and technology course, and a uniform.
The family has few resources; the list costs $300, which is more than they have.
Cristina loves design and technology and wants to become a marine biologist. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours.
She will take care of everything given and works very hard.
I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything.
Where the $300 goes:
• Laptop: $185
• Textbooks and workbooks: $65
• School uniform and shoes: $50
If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

hope things get better soon, Gabriela. Your post was clear and honest. Thinking of San Cristóbal de las Casas.
I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 24 years in customer support I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Take care.
any update on how things are going in San Cristóbal de las Casas?
Hope it all works out, Gabriela. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of San Cristóbal de las Casas
Sending good thoughts, Gabriela. This could happen to any of us. My husband and I read this together. Take care.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Cristina
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. laptop comes first ($185) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
This could happen to any of us. I went through something like this 6 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near San Cristóbal de las Casas.
Thank you. If you're in San Cristóbal de las Casas I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for asking.
Sending love, Gabriela. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double
I hope things turn around soon. After 29 years in public service I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
You're not alone. Shared it with a few friends. Greetings from Pune.
sending strength, Gabriela. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. It's not much but it's yours. Love from Mapo.
Hang in there, Gabriela. Gave what I could, wish it was more.
You're not alone, Gabriela. Hope you get there. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Love from Nairobi
