The throughout the year there are fundraisers, boosterthons, and fun-runs all so the school can afford updating and fixing the building or providing needed equipment for the staff. Then of course, our current healthcare system (the one at gofundme.com) that relies on donations from the community to see whether or not people can get much needed healthcare services…
