Ella earned a place in the first year of senior school at Los Angeles Boys' High School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the graphic design course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $1,000, which is more than they have. Ella loves graphic design and wants to become a pilot. A laptop will allow coursework at home instead of waiting for library hours. She will take care of everything given and works very hard. Items on the list: laptop, uniform, shoes, textbooks, calculator and a bag. Where the $1,000 goes: • Laptop: $680 • Textbooks and workbooks: $250 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $70 If you're reading this, thank you.

Updates from Alexa

  1. Small update. $1,117 so far, we've booked the dates and paid the deposit.

  2. Update from Los Angeles: we've started the first stage. We're at 75% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  3. Good news. Because of your gifts ($648 in total) I made the first payment toward textbooks and workbooks. Still a way to go but it feels less lonely.
