Raquel earned a place in Form 4 at Campinas Girls' 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 $300, which is more than they have.
Raquel loves graphic design and wants to become a doctor. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours.
She will take care of everything given and works very hard.
Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag.
Where the $300 goes:
• Laptop: $170
• School uniform and shoes: $40
• Textbooks and workbooks: $65
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $25
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
Updates from Carlos
Quick update: $265 raised so far (88%). the plan for calculator, stationery and a school bag is now scheduled. Receipts coming as soon as I have them.
Thank you all. We're at 37% now ($110). I'm honestly stunned. I met with the school supplier and confirmed the amounts.
Update from Campinas: we've booked the dates and paid the deposit. We're at 82% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

Sending love, Carlos. Your post was clear and honest. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
