Carlos earned a place in Form 4 at Feira de Santana Girls' High School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the mathematics course, and a uniform.
The family has few resources; the list costs $300, which is more than they have.
Carlos loves mathematics and wants to become a nurse. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours.
He 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: $120
• School uniform and shoes: $45
• Textbooks and workbooks: $85
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $50
Thank you so much.

Keep going, Roberto. This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Heliopolis donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.

Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double!
