School supplies and a laptop for Emilio in Bogotá
Help Emilio begin Form 4 with a laptop, uniform and books.
🇨🇴 Bogotá D.C., Colombia907 views
I earned a place in Form 4 at Bogotá Technical College, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the mathematics course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $300, which is more than we have.
I love mathematics and want to become a pilot. A laptop will let me do coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours.
I'll take care of everything you give me and I promise to work hard.
I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything.
Where the $300 goes:
• Laptop: $160
• School uniform and shoes: $45
• Textbooks and workbooks: $65
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $30
Thanks for being kind about this.

Best of luck, Emilio. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings
rooting for you, Emilio. Shared this with my family. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Greetings from Santa Rosa.
Praying for you. Gave what I could, wish it was more. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Bogotá
Sending love, Emilio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My neighbor in Manukau donated after I showed her your page. All the best.
Wishing you the best, Emilio. Looking forward to the next update. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money
keep going, Emilio. This could happen to any of us. Wish I lived closer to Mekelle so I could bring a meal. God bless.
