Avery earned a place in the first year of senior school at Los Angeles Science Academy, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the mathematics course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $850, which is more than they have. Avery loves mathematics and wants to become a doctor. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. She will take care of everything given and works very hard. I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything. Where the $850 goes: • Laptop: $450 • School uniform and shoes: $185 • Textbooks and workbooks: $145 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $70 Thank you so much. - Lauren

    Great help in a difficult time

    Perfect example of someone making a real difference. They took time out of their busy schedule to help me and never made me feel like a burden.

    Exceeded expectations

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

  • good luck, Lauren. Shared this with my family. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Take care.

    • Wishing you peace, Lauren. Gave what I could, wish it was more. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. God bless.

        Wishing you peace, Lauren. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope March is when things finally get easier. Take care.

        • Hang in there. Shared this with my family. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best

          • Stay strong. Good luck with the exams, you've got this. After 12 years in logistics I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Love from Palmira
