How do students get support?
If you identify an expense you need help with, please fill out the Secret Samaritans Request Form. Once completed, give it to a trusted staff member at Monarch High School. They will remove your identifying information from the form and submit it to Secret Samaritans, ensuring your anonymity is protected. Secret Samaritans will then notify potential donors in their database. Once a match is found, the donor will provide the requested funds, and the request will be processed.
A few things to keep in mind:
-
All requests must be for school-related expenses.
-
Students seeking assistance are expected to contribute a small portion, usually around 10%, of the total amount.
-
Secret Samaritans has the final decision on whether a request will be funded.
