Rocco is a remarkable 16-year-old special needs learner with a passion for learning and an impressive academic record. Currently in Grade 8, he still has a few important school years ahead. For Rocco, school isn’t just about lessons—it's his happy place. A place of adventure, joy, connection, and personal growth.
Despite the challenges he faces, Rocco consistently achieves over 80% across all his subjects, proudly declaring Math as his favorite. His enthusiasm for learning, combined with his kind and loving nature, is a recipe for success.
But Rocco’s dream is in danger.
Due to South Africa’s harsh economic climate, Rocco’s mother, who battles diabetes and has been unable to secure employment, is struggling to make ends meet. Without transport, she relies on extended family for support, but it’s simply not enough.
Rocco urgently needs help to cover:
- Transport fees to and from his special needs school
- School uniforms
- Essential learning materials
The special needs school is quite a distance from his home, and the monthly transport fee has fallen into arrears. Without intervention, Rocco may soon be unable to attend the school he loves so much.
The CLR Foundation has pledged to support Rocco’s educational journey, but we need your help to make it possible.
Let’s keep Rocco in school where he belongs.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, brings us one step closer to securing Rocco’s future. Together, we can stand behind his potential and keep his dream alive.
