Help Colton begin Year 10 with a laptop, uniform and books.
🇺🇸 United States1,384 views
I earned a place in Year 10 at St. Louis Boys' High School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the biology course, and a uniform.
My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $900, which is more than we have.
I love biology and want to become a pilot. 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.
Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag.
Where the $900 goes:
• Laptop: $410
• School uniform and shoes: $165
• Textbooks and workbooks: $280
• Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $45
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

Thanks for sharing this. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Sent it to 7 people at work. Love from Cardiff.
So sorry you're going through this, Colton. As a teacher I love seeing someone work this hard to learn. Take care.
Hope you get there. Thinking of St. Louis.
Good luck, Colton. Your post was clear and honest.
Stay strong, Colton. Study hard! Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. God bless
Hope this works out for you. I went through something like this 3 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best
You're not alone, Colton. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update. Love from Quezon City
it takes guts to ask. Well done. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Greetings from Fresno.
Sending love, Colton. Your post was clear and honest. Take care
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. Please keep us posted. Love from Dundee
This could happen to any of us. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Greetings from Mthatha
It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 11 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
