Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Santiago.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. laptop comes first ($600) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Thanks for asking.
Take care, Santiago. Your post was clear and honest. All the best.
You're not alone. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. God bless.
hang in there, Santiago. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Thinking of San Francisco.
hope this works out for you. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too
Sending strength. Education changes everything, hope you graduate with honors.
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Wish I lived closer to Medellín so I could bring a meal.
