sending good thoughts, Andrés. This could happen to any of us. Take care.
how is Sofía doing now?
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of Ciudad de México.
Can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Ciudad de México
Hang in there. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sofía.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. school uniform and shoes comes first ($65) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Fair thing to want to know.
reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Ciudad de México
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day

wishing you the best, Andrés. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. It's not much but it's yours. Take care.
Take care. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless!
Rooting for you. It takes guts to ask. Well done.
