Help Ximena start the school year with the right tools
Ximena won a place at Sacramento Boys' High School but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.
🇺🇸 United States1,713 views
Ximena earned a place in Year 10 at Sacramento Boys' High 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 $950, which is more than they have.
Ximena 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 $950 goes:
• Textbooks and workbooks: $180
• Laptop: $690
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $80
With deep gratitude,
Pedro

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Ximena.
Sure. The biggest one is textbooks and workbooks, $180. The rest is in the list at the bottom of the post and I'll upload receipts as I pay each one. Let me know if you want more detail.
Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Savannah.
stay strong, Pedro. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Sacramento.
Sending strength, Pedro. Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Madrid donated after I showed her your page. Thinking of Sacramento.
hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. God bless.
so sorry you're going through this, Pedro. I hope things turn around soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
praying for you. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors. Take care.
Wishing you peace, Pedro. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Heliopolis so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Rooting for you. Study hard! Love from Madina.
