Emily earned a place in Grade 9 at San Diego International School, and the family couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things She needs, including a laptop for the design and technology course, and a uniform. The family has few resources; the list costs $1,150, which is more than they have. Emily loves design and technology and wants to become a teacher. 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 $1,150 goes: • Laptop: $620 • School uniform and shoes: $230 • Textbooks and workbooks: $150 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $150 Thanks for reading all this.

    Hope it all works out, Shawn. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Tangier so I could bring a meal.
