How $20,000 Would Support Their Goals

Gilbert attends an independent school For special needs students. This school requires tuition payment that is costly and increases in upper school. He is in jeopardy of having to go to public school next year. His experience at public school was not great. He was bullied and his IEP was not honored causing a lot of issues for him including a drop in grades. This will guarantee him to stay in the school he’s excelling in, get the Mac book he needs for high school and other supplies.
