I earned a place in Year 10 at Stellenbosch Science Academy, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the coding course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $150, which is more than we have.
I love coding and want to become a doctor. A laptop will let me do coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours.
I'll take care of everything you give me and I promise to work hard.
I'll buy the items from the school's approved supplier and post photos of everything.
Where the $150 goes:
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $15
• Laptop: $100
• School uniform and shoes: $35
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

You're not alone, Bongani. Shared it with a few friends. I'll check back for the next update
This could happen to any of us. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of Stellenbosch
You're not alone. This could happen to any of us. After 26 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
sending good thoughts, Bongani. Your post was clear and honest. Love from San Antonio.
