Funding for internet for college student $$$$


So, in talking to Alondra today, one of my college seniors, she let me know that classes are going to be canceled and that all her future lessons will be online.

She now needs internet at her place.

It costs $60 to install and $20 a month to maintain.

Ideally, three sponsors:

One for internet install at $60

One for the monthly until Dec. 2020 = $180 ($20 x 9 months)

One for her 9th/last semester - $120 ($20 x 6) Jan - June 2021


I will double check but I think she is the only one without internet service.

Anyone interested in being her internet sponsors? Thanks so much.


Here she is when she was my student in high school

Her major is Industrial Engineering and she studies at UABC in Ensenada.

Anyone back me up for the rest?

Gone to you via paypal Blanca.

(a little note for others; if sending via paypal, Blanca receives a little less (ok not her husband - money) because of the service fee associated with her account. a small amount added to your donation will cover that so Blanca doesn't end up paying herself each time she receives donations)

Thanks guys! We are getting there! These are trying times. I am spending the next couple days being proactive - what happens if I get corona virus? I want to kids to be protected financially if I am out of the picture. That is why I did the whole numbers for her monthly internet charges.

Thanks again. May the good juju come back to you many times over.

UPDATE:

Cash for installation sent to Alondra this morning.

Cash sent to another student in Santa Rosalia who will have classes every day this week from 10 am to 9 pm today until Friday. I covered lunch and dinner that the school offered.
