Rafael earned a place in the first year of senior school at the Orlando Selective School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things He needs, including a laptop for the design and technology course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $1,250, which is more than they have. Rafael loves design and technology and wants to become a pilot. 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 $1,250 goes: • Laptop: $670 • School uniform and shoes: $240 • Textbooks and workbooks: $250 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $90 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Updates from Julieta
