Back-to-school fund for Heather

I earned a place in the first year of senior school at Springfield Technical College, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the design and technology course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $850, which is more than we have. I love design and technology and want to become a software developer. 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 $850 goes: • Textbooks and workbooks: $120 • School uniform and shoes: $115 • Laptop: $615 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
