Help Verónica start the school year with the right tools

Verónica 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
Verónica earned a place in Year 11 at the Alcalá de Henares Selective School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the graphic design course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $400, which is more than they have. Verónica loves graphic design and wants to become an architect. 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 $400 goes: • School uniform and shoes: $95 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $45 • Laptop: $260 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Updates from Araceli

  1. Good news. Because of your gifts ($191 in total) we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

  2. Update from Alcalá de Henares: we've started the first stage. We're at 37% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($104 in total) I made the first payment toward school uniform and shoes. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.

    Hope things get better soon, Araceli. Shared it with a few friends. After 14 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings
