Back-to-school fund for Lars

Lars won a place at Stockholm International School but the family can't afford the uniform, books and laptop required.

Stockholm
I earned a place in Year 10 at Stockholm International School, and I couldn't be prouder. The school has a long list of things I need, including a laptop for the robotics course, and a uniform. My mother works two jobs, and the list costs $1,050, which is more than we have. I love robotics and want to become a nurse. 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 $1,050 goes: • Laptop: $710 • School uniform and shoes: $180 • Textbooks and workbooks: $100 • Calculator, stationery and a school bag: $60 If you're reading this, thank you. - Lars

Updates from Lars

  1. Update from Stockholm: I made the first payment toward textbooks and workbooks. We're at 84% of the goal. Thank you for believing in us.

  2. Small update. $631 so far, the plan for laptop is now scheduled.

  3. Thank you all. We're at 17% now ($176). I'm honestly stunned. I made the first payment toward school uniform and shoes.

                  Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. After 28 years in customer support I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
