Help Luis start the school year with the right tools

Luis won a place at the Alcalá de Henares Selective School but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

Alcalá de Henares
I earned a place in Year 10 at the Alcalá de Henares Selective School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the chemistry course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $750, which is more than we have. I love chemistry and want to become an engineer. A laptop will let me do coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. I'll take care of everything you give me and I promise to work hard. I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything. Where the $750 goes: • Laptop: $430 • School uniform and shoes: $95 • Textbooks and workbooks: $175 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $50 Thank you so much.
